At Rest

Deadly force
Marko, upset and suicidal because of marital problems, carried a .22 caliber weapon into her backyard with deputies present and said, repeatedly, that she would make them kill her. She pointed the weapon at officers, and was killed with a shotgun blast. The same deputy killed George Louis Garrett in similar circumstances 10 years later.
This record exists so that Margaret Marko, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
