At Rest

Deadly force
Two Boulder County Sheriff's Office deputies fatally shot 30-year-old Eric Vantslot of Lyons when he pointed a gun-shaped cigarette lighter at them. The officers said Vantslot threatened to kill them, and they didn't know the lighter wasn't a real gun.
This record exists so that Eric Vantslot, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
