At Rest

Deadly force
Police responded to the group home Paul lived in, on reports of a man with a knife and another man already injured. Paul had required police attention for his mental health some 37 times since 1989. He declined to surrender his 4-inch steak knife and was threatening enough this time for the police to fatally shoot him.
This record exists so that Lon E. Paul, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
