At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies responded to a 911 call about a man shooting a gun and threatening to commit suicide. They arrived at 6:13 p.m. at the Paradise Village Mobile Home Park to find Craig Douglas Vilsack sitting on his porch holding a handgun and drinking. While Deputy Teddy Lynn talked with Vilsack he began pacing and waving the gun. He came within 10 feet of the deputy and pointed the weapon. Lynn and Deputies Katherine Gabel, Jeremy Goff and William Irvin opened fire striking him four times and killing him.
This record exists so that Craig Douglas Vilsack, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
