At Rest

Suicide
Officers responded to a call of shots fired at a garage on Dewey Street. They were met by a man pointing a gun at them and yelling obscenities. After repeated unsuccessful attempts to negotiate or communicate with the man, police fired tear gas into the garage, and James L. Shockley shot and killed himself.
This record exists so that James L. Shockley, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
