At Rest

Suicide
A routine traffic stop on the Newport Highway became a gunfight that left two sheriff's deputies wounded and set off a chaotic crime spree that stretched across most of north Spokane County. The alleged gunman, 41-year-old Charles R. Wallace, fled the scene and led law enforcement on a high-speed chase in a sedan he carjacked after the shooting, firing repeatedly at pursuing cars before he shot and killed himself.
This record exists so that Charles R. Wallace, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
