At Rest

Deadly force
Three deputies shot Paul E. Lewis nine times after he allegedly refused to drop a handgun. The deputies had responded to a call about a despondent man threatening to kill himself and others. When deputies arrived, they reportedly heard what sounded like two gunshots from inside the house. Lewis then allegedly came outside holding a gun and raised it. The deputies opened fire, killing Lewis.
This record exists so that Paul E. Lewis, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
