At Rest

Deadly force
Sullivan, bound for a prison term within the next few days, turned up unexpectedly for a stay at his sister's house in an unbalanced mental condition. Attempts of his sister to calm him down developed into a situation where Sullivan had taken his infant niece hostage. Plymouth police engaged the Connecticut State Police western tactical team. Sullivan decapitated his niece, and died from about 12 gunshots fired by police.
This record exists so that John Sullivan, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
