At Rest

Deadly force
Pettey briefly took two hostages in a shop (keeping two women, letting a male go) with an apparent handgun. She spoke of suicide. Local and county officers responded, and Pettey died of internal injuries from the two gunshots she took to the upper body. The apparent handgun was a pellet gun.
This record exists so that Laura J. Pettey, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
