At Rest

Deadly force
The Pike County Sheriff's Office got a 911 call at 2:28 p.m. to report a person holding a gun at another. When deputies arrived, they found 70-year-old Grady Parks armed with a shotgun and another handgun, chasing the person who called 911. Deputies ordered Parks to drop his weapons, but he did not. A deputy then used his Taser to incapacitate Parks, but it did not. Parks allegedly fired at deputies with his shotgun, however the shot missed. One of the deputies shot and killed Parks.
This record exists so that Grady Parks, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
