Upon arrival, officers encountered 54-year-old James E. Walter, who was reportedly firing a gun into the air outside his residence. To ensure the safety of residents, the mobile home park was evacuated. Walter continued to discharge his firearm inside his home and made verbal threats toward law enforcement officers. Despite attempts to deescalate the situation through negotiation, Walter opened his door and displayed a firearm, prompting members of the KSP Special Response Team to engage him, resulting in fatal injuries. No officers were injured during the incident. The Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team is conducting an ongoing investigation into the shooting.

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Passenger killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Arkansas State Police chased a white Dodge Ram after the driver, Torkilo Hambrick, failed to stop for a traffic violation near mile marker 173. Police escalated the chase along Interstate 40 at speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour. Near mile marker 191, an Arkansas State Police trooper conducted a PIT maneuver—a tactic known to be potentially lethal at speeds above 35 mph—causing the truck to overturn and crash. Laterrika Woods, the 29-year-old sister of Memphis rapper Big Boogie, was a passenger in the vehicle. She was ejected during the crash and died at the scene. Two other passengers were seriously injured. Experts have long warned that PIT maneuvers at speeds above 35 mph carry an extreme risk of fatality, and at 100+ mph, the probability of a deadly outcome is considered astronomically high.
