At Rest

Deadly force
State troopers on a predawn SWAT-style drug raid at Garnett's residence were shot at and struck by six rounds fired by Garnett as they crossed his threshold, only escaping injury because of their body armor. Officers returned fire and shot him to death. Garnett had been heavily armed. In November 2010 three state troopers were given Medals of Honor for their roles in the raid.
This record exists so that Thomas Garnett, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
