At Rest

Suicide
Centralia police received a report of a suspicious/unwanted subject, possibly under the influence of drugs, outside a residence. An officer responded to the call and shortly after arriving was fired upon by Peters. The officer returned fire at Peters, who then turned and walked a few steps before stopping, raising the gun to his head and shooting and killing himself.
This record exists so that Matthew J. “Matty James” Peters, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
