At Rest

Deadly force
Police shot Thomas A. Mack when he reportedly refused to drop a track-meet starter pistol after a robbery at a Church's Fried Chicken restaurant. Surrounded by police, Mack tried to get away by taking the woman hostage and threatening to kill her, but she fainted. Two officers shot Mack when he refused to drop the starter pistol.
This record exists so that Thomas A. Mack, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
