At Rest

Deadly force
Around 7:30 p.m., police said a woman had told them that she had been involved in a fight with her husband. Police found the caller and her husband in a other. The woman got out and told police that the man inside had a handgun. The responding officers reportedly attempted to convince Dearian Bell to put down his gun, but Bell began moving toward an officer while holding the gun. The officer then shot and killed Bell.
This record exists so that Dearian Bell, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
