At Rest

Deadly force
Kentucky State Police received a 911 call from a residence complaining that there was a fight in progress near the residence involving firearms, and shots had been fired. State Police and sheriff's deputies arrived and as the trooper walked toward the area where the incident had taken place, a man armed with a handgun appeared. As Ted Newsome approached, he raised the handgun at the trooper. The trooper, who was armed with his patrol rifle, shot and killed Newsome.
This record exists so that Ted Newsome, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
