At Rest

Deadly force
Hopkins called 911 twice on a Friday afternoon, once for help, the second time to say that she felt she might hurt somebody. Three officers responded and found her with a seven-inch blade in each hand. She lunged at them; they fatally shot her. Neighbors described Hopkins as friendly and mild-mannered and remarked at the speed of her killing.
This record exists so that Gloria Hopkins, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
