At Rest

Deadly force
Hoquiam police officers were attempting to serve a felony arrest warrant for Rick Marlowe; they had tried earlier in the day but he had given them a false ID. When they returned, Marlowe opened fire, striking one of the officers. After a standoff, with officers using tear gas Marlowe resisted with a gas mask, the house caught on fire. Marlow exited the burning house with a handgun, refused to drop it and was shot and killed by SWAT team members. Shooting was ruled justified by Grays Harbor Prosecutor.
This record exists so that Rick Marlowe, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
