At Rest

Deadly force
Vega's niece, her husband and their 14-month-old son had had to retreat to the second story of their house as Vega raged below on the ground floor, she reported to police on a 911 call. When police arrived in mid-morning Vega would not relinquish his loaded rifle or obey police commands. He was shot to death and died at the scene.
