Vermont State Police shot and killed 55-year-old Scott Garvey in his Putney apartment during a mental health crisis on July 6-7. Officers believed Garvey, who was holding a pipe (not a rifle), was armed and posed a deadly threat. Vermont's Attorney General ruled the shooting justified, though Garvey's family criticized the decision as unnecessary escalation.
