At Rest

Deadly force
Around 2 p.m., after his 27-year-old girlfriend left the house and called police to report her boyfriend was despondent and had stuck a gun in his mouth, police arrived. They heard three gunshots from within the home, and a standoff began. It ended with gunfire about 3:45 p.m. when Brian Tietze came out and shot at police who shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Brian Scott Tietze, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
