At Rest

Deadly force
Deputy Tom Courter responded to a hang-up 911 call in rural Hershey at about 1:45 a.m., and heard a woman screaming inside the mobile home, police said. Courter kicked in the door and found Robbin W. Gastineau and his ex-wife fighting. Courter Tased Gastineau, but the probes reportedly landed too close together, so Courter tried again, but it was ineffective. Gastineau allegedly grabbed a decorative Samurai sword and attacked Courter, who shot Gastineau twice. Gastineau died at the scene.
This record exists so that Robbin W. Gastineau, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
