At Rest

Suicide
Lauren Haskins had a gun and was threatening to take her own life when police showed up to her house to check in on her. After attempting to negotiate peacefully with her in her backyard, officers felt they were left with no other option than to fire at Haskins while her husband and two children were inside the home. This was ruled a suicide because Haskins also shot herself in the head, while police shot her lower on her body, and the headshot caused her death..
This record exists so that Laura Haskins, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
