At approximately 1:30 a.m. on August 7, 2025, Nebraska State Patrol troopers attempted a traffic stop on a Ford F-150 traveling eastbound on Interstate 80. The driver refused to stop, initiating a high-speed pursuit that transitioned onto Interstate 680. Nebraska State Patrol immediately escalated the operation, coordinating with the Omaha Police Department Air Support Unit and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputies to create a multi-layered containment strategy.
Troopers aggressively pursued at high speed while Omaha Police launched their helicopter to maintain continuous aerial tracking of the vehicle. Douglas County deputies staged ahead on the route to prepare tactical intervention points. Law enforcement deployed stop sticks to shred the truck’s tires, forcing it into a progressively slower but still dangerous flight.
During the pursuit, the driver began firing a handgun from the moving truck toward pursuing officers, escalating the incident to an active armed threat. Troopers and deputies maintained armed readiness while maneuvering to contain the vehicle without risking civilian traffic.
The chase concluded when the F-150 crashed into a tree near North 88th and Sunrise Boulevard. Within seconds, a police K-9 team was deployed to locate the driver, who was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Officers disarmed him and he was transported to a hospital but was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
The Nebraska State Patrol is leading the investigation, with ballistic evidence, dashcam and helicopter footage, and pursuit logs under review to reconstruct the sequence of events.

At approximately 1:20 p.m. on August 7, 2025, Athens Police officers responded to the Beasley Mill apartment complex at 93 West Union Street for reports of a shooting. Officers arrived to find a woman with gunshot wounds; she was stabilized and flown to a Columbus hospital. Witness statements and scene evidence led police to identify 70-year-old Joseph C. Jennings as the shooter, barricaded inside an apartment. A note recovered at the scene claimed there were explosives inside, triggering a full-scale tactical escalation.
Command activated the Athens County Special Response Team (SRT) and requested support from the Columbus Division of Fire Bomb Squad and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The bomb threat prompted a rapid evacuation of nearby buildings and cordoning of several blocks. Armored vehicles were positioned to shield entry teams and block all approaches. SRT operators in full tactical gear established layered perimeters, with sniper-observer teams covering all sightlines and shield-bearing breach units staged for immediate assault.
Negotiators bore down by phone and loudspeaker, but Jennings did not respond. The SRT maintained an aggressive, high-visibility posture while the bomb squad prepared for potential detonation mitigation, staging robots and specialized equipment outside the structure.
When continued silence indicated no movement inside, a drone equipped with live video feed was flown into the apartment under the cover of armed overwatch. The drone located Jennings unresponsive on the floor with a visible firearm. SRT entry teams moved in under ballistic protection, confirmed he had sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and secured the weapon. No explosives were found inside after a complete bomb squad sweep.
The scene was declared safe, and investigators began processing ballistic evidence, the threatening note, and all tactical video recordings.
