At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies responded to Michael Heilman Jr.'s home after a 911 hang-up call was placed from the residence at around 10 p.m. According to police, deputies learned Heilman was armed and had made statements he would harm officers. Officers from other agencies responded and set up a perimeter. At about 1 a.m. Heilman allegedly confronted officers outside the house, fired two shots from a long gun and continued to advance in a threatening manner. A trooper shot and killed Heilman.
This record exists so that Michael J. Heilman Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
