At Rest

Deadly force
Officers reported that they responded to a call to a veterans' hotline. Poole said that he was suicidal and not to send help because it "would not end well." When officers arrived he was sitting on his lawnmower, opened fire, and the officers returned fire shooting him to death.
This record exists so that William Dean Poole, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
