Vermont State Police shot and killed 55-year-old Scott Garvey in his Putney apartment on July 6 during a mental health crisis. The state trooper believed Garvey was holding a rifle and aiming it at officers, though the object was actually a pipe used as a cane. The Vermont Attorney General found the shooting justified.
