At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Hammond was not in police custody, but he was being monitored by law enforcement at the request of St. Cloud Hospital. A struggle ensued after the suspect got out of his bed and Hammond got hold of an officers gun and shot off several rounds. A deputy from the same Sheriff's Office tased Hammond, and the suspect "became unresponsive." Life-saving efforts were begun in the emergency room, but Hammond died.
This record exists so that Danny Leroy Hammond, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
