At Rest

Deadly force
Southall, whose mental problems had been worsening, struck his girlfriend at their residence. When her daughters complained, Southall armed himself with a .45-caliber pistol, chased them from the house and barricaded himself inside. Officers responded. Captain George Scott Monier entered the residence. He and Southall shot one another. Captain Monier left the residence, then was taken to Harris Methodist Hospital. Fort Worth SWAT shot tear gas into the residence, entered it and found Southall already dead. Captain Monier died during surgery.
This record exists so that James Poe Southall Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
