At Rest

Deadly force
Police responded to a report of a man threatening suicide with a gun. Joel Byne made comments that he was going to get police to shoot him. Police attempted to negotiate with Byne and use less lethal means to stop him from shooting himself, but were unsuccessful. At some point during negotiations, Byne was shot by police and later died at hospital.
This record exists so that Joel Byne, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
