At Rest

Deadly force
State troopers shot prison guard Lernard Grigsby at Stateville's on-site dormitory. At about 4 a.m., state police responded to a domestic dispute at the dorms. Grigsby allegedly attacked a sergeant, and then began striking trooper Kristine Quick in the face. According to police, the sergeant moved to protect Quick, then shot Grigsby twice when he allegedly attempted to grab his gun. Grigsby died from his wounds on April 28, 2008.
