At Rest

Suicide
Ryan Nichols died after town police responded to a report of a suicidal man. Officer Alan F. Baird had disarmed Nichols and was about to leave the club with him when Nichols, who appeared to be cooperating, attacked him without warning, wrested the officer's gun away and shot himself in the hand, chest and head. The death was ruled a suicide.
This record exists so that Ryan G. Nichols, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
