At Rest

Deadly force
An armed Scott Mielentz stormed into the Panera on Nassau Street after 10 a.m. as customers and employees fled through the back of the building. Police negotiators allegedly tried to get Mielentz to give himself up peacefully for several hours until around 3 p.m. when police shot and killed him, as he brandished a pellet gun.
This record exists so that Scott Mielentz, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
