At Rest

Deadly force
A call came into paramedics to respond to a home for a male with a medical condition. The caller stated the man at the residence was slurring his words and was bumping into things and that she feared he was having a stroke. When EMS arrived, 72-year-old Richard Sabo was combative and said he was armed with a gun. Paramedics left the house and when police arrived on scene, they say Sabo exited the house with a shotgun and pointed it at police. After a brief standoff, Sabo was shot and killed by an officer.
This record exists so that Richard Sabo, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
