At Rest

Deadly force
Albion Department of Public Safety officers attempted to pull over Brian Laxton for not having plates. Laxton fled west on Interstate 94, and police pursued. Laxton allegedly shot at police. The chase ended when a Calhoun County deputy ran into Laxton's car. He ran from the car with a handgun, attempting to enter an occupied home. Officer Christof Klein told Laxton to drop the gun, but Laxton turned toward Klein with the gun in hand, and Klein shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Brian Douglas Laxton, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
