Kahn then stabbed two officers, inflicting significant injuries. Oregon State Police troopers arrived to assist. During the arrest, a Springfield officer fatally shot Kahn.

Nearby residents described the scene—one witness saw approximately 10–15 officers run toward a car wash after hearing what they believed were gunshots. Another noted a person standing in the street before a chase began. The shooting triggered activation of the Lane County Interagency Deadly Force Investigation Team (IDFIT), with protocols initiated including critical incident leave for the involved officer and a multimodal review by the District Attorney’s Office.
In a public statement, Kahn’s father shared that Daniel had struggled with long-term mental illness, had traveled from Texas seeking treatment, and expressed in their final conversation a deep desire to go to Jerusalem along with an invitation to play online chess together.
