At Rest

Deadly force
About 11 p.m., deputies were called to a home for a domestic disturbance. Officers say the victim was leaving the house with her two children and going to a neighbors home to protect herself from the dangers of physical harm from her husband. When deputies arrived, Matthew J. Morse walked out of the house brandishing a handgun. Officers ordered him to drop the weapon and he failed to do so. Deputies shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Matthew J. Morse, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
