At Rest

Deadly force
Police only described "some kind of confrontation" as the cause of Weatherspoon's shooting death at the hands of SWAT members. As opposed to a normal police response to celebratory New Year's Eve gunfire, this incident involved two black and unmarked SUVs full of police. Weatherspoon was said to have been illegally armed with a 9mm handgun.
This record exists so that Lynn Weatherspoon, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
