At approximately 1:30 p.m. on July 31, 2025, St. Louis police detectives were conducting surveillance on a Ford Fusion recently taken in an armed carjacking in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Officers observed a man, later identified as Carlos Jackson, approaching the vehicle. As officers moved in, Jackson fled on foot, carrying a handgun with an extended magazine and a conversion device capable of automatic fire. Officers pursued him down an alley near Salisbury and 20th. Jackson reportedly ignored multiple commands to drop the weapon, and officers opened fire, striking and killing him. He died at the scene despite emergency medical efforts. Police recovered the firearm and a key fob belonging to the carjacked vehicle. Force Investigation Unit is reviewing the use of deadly force in the case.

On 07/31/2025, Michigan State Police responded to a domestic assault call on East Main Street in Otisville. The victim escaped with serious injuries and was treated on scene. Jennings barricaded himself inside the home and was reported to be heavily armed with multiple rifles and handguns. He fired multiple rounds at troopers, striking an armored vehicle and narrowly missing a nearby homeowner, Gary Natzke, who described hearing bullets whiz past and shatter glass in his home. Troopers—after attempting negotiation—returned fire, fatally striking Jennings. The standoff lasted several hours before concluding in this tragic outcome. Troopers involved have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the MSP Second District Special Investigation Unit and the MSP Crime Lab. The completed findings will be forwarded to the Michigan Attorney General’s Office for review. No demonstrations or protests by family or community members have been reported in connection with this incident.

On July 30, 2025, Indiana State Police SWAT, together with South Bend, St. Joseph County, and Indiana University South Bend police officers, executed a drug-related search warrant at a residence on Eldora Court. The subject, Justin Hufkens, initially fled but re-entered the home, leading officers to surround the structure. Hufkens then opened fire on officers, prompting return fire. Over the course of two hours, SWAT utilized an armored vehicle with a battering-ram attachment, which was used to breach doors and windows. Smoke and flash effects were reported by nearby residents during the breach. The surrounding area—including Lincoln Way East—was shut down, residences were cordoned off, and residents were physically pushed back from the perimeter for safety. Hufkens continued to fire from within the home. At approximately 3:30 p.m., officers heard a single gunshot from inside. After breaching the structure, SWAT found Hufkens dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, concluding he died by suicide during the standoff under police duress.

At approximately 8:15 a.m. on July 30, 2025, Master Police Officer Jordan Laupert, a ten-year veteran assigned temporarily to street patrol, encountered a 21-year-old man near the rear of the District Two Police Station at 9330 North 30th Street. What began as a seemingly cordial exchange through a fence—where the man asked Laupert for the address of headquarters and even said “thank you”—suddenly escalated when the man shot Laupert in the leg as he walked away. Laupert immediately deactivated his body camera but reactivated it right after being shot. Fellow officers rendered aid with a tourniquet before Tampa Fire Rescue transported Laupert to the hospital, where he was stabilized and later released. The man fled toward Busch Gardens but was found nearby with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Authorities believe he was in the midst of a mental health crisis. No protests or community challenges to the official account have surfaced.

At approximately 2:37 p.m. on July 30, 2025, Springfield Police were dispatched to a business in the Gateway Street–Beltline Road area for reports of a disorderly individual. 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. Officers administered emergency care, but Kahn died at the scene despite life-saving measures.
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.

At approximately 6:30 a.m. on July 30, 2025, the Gary Police Department SWAT Team executed a narcotics search warrant in a residence on the 600 block of Adams Street, prompted by community reports of drug activity. During the operation, David Martin exited the rear of the building brandishing a firearm and “engaged officers with a firearm,” at which point SWAT officers opened fire and fatally shot him. Neighbors described hearing a loud explosion followed by rapid gunfire. The Lake County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide by multiple gunshot wounds, and the Lake County Sheriff’s Department, including detectives and CSI teams, has taken charge of the investigation.

On 07/30/2025, multiple agencies surrounded the Mott House, a well-known transgender support house in Topeka, after locating Carlos Slaughter inside. Topeka Police, Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office, FBI agents, and SWAT units established a perimeter and conducted a prolonged standoff. Negotiations failed, and SWAT units breached the property, smashing multiple windows and forcing entry through doors despite reports that a rear door may have been open. Drones were deployed to monitor interior activity. The breaches caused significant structural and interior damage, including shattered glass across the yard, displaced furniture, and scattered belongings. Inside, Slaughter was found deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The operation’s level of physical destruction has drawn public criticism due to the building’s role as a safe space for the transgender community. Repairs, including new window installation and yard cleanup, began shortly after the incident.

On the morning of July 29, 2025, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, aided by the U.S. Marshals Task Force, attempted to serve a felony narcotics warrant at an apartment on NW 9th Terrace. Samuel Edgardo Rivera was inside with a female occupant, who deputies escorted out safely before entry. Rivera then fired a shot from his bedroom and barricaded himself in, prompting an hours-long SWAT response. Nearby apartments were evacuated and University Avenue was closed between 800–1100 blocks to secure the perimeter.
For two to three hours, SWAT maintained a containment posture. At 11:02 a.m., deputies deployed a chemical agent (presumed to be a tear gas) into the apartment. Rivera responded by firing multiple shots through a side window before moving to the living room holding a handgun. He briefly retracted, then reappeared at a front window pointing the weapon at deputies. In response, a SWAT officer discharged a single, fatal round, striking Rivera. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is conducting an independent, follow-up investigation into the use of lethal force.
