An officer located Daniel A. Kahn near Gateway Street and Kruse Way, where he allegedly brandished two knives and threatened to fight the officer. The officer called for backup. 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.

On 06/07/2025, Malheur County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an assault involving 54-year-old Eli Edward Reiter at a property in Harper, Oregon.

One local resident described him as “someone who needed help, not a hail of bullets,” expressing sadness that the situation escalated to deadly force rather than mental health intervention.

Upon arrival, officers encountered an active shooter situation, with Brousseau firing multiple rounds at law enforcement using a high-powered semi-automatic rifle. During the ensuing standoff, which lasted approximately eight hours, hundreds of rounds were exchanged. Law enforcement evacuated nearby residents and utilized Oregon State Police SWAT personnel, armored vehicles, and a robot operator to approach the residence. Efforts to enter the home were initially hindered by Brousseau's attempts to barricade doors and windows. Eventually, SWAT used an armored vehicle with a ram to breach the barricades. Brousseau was found deceased inside the home around 11:30 p.m., with early information suggesting he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Malheur County Sheriff's Office and Oregon State Police are handling the case and conducting an internal investigation.
