On August 7, 2025, deputies with the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office located 20-year-old Codie Martinez at a residence on Coburg Lane after an intensive manhunt. Martinez had been wanted in connection with a July 31, 2025 shooting that left a man injured, and deputies had been actively searching for him for a week, treating him as armed and dangerous. Intelligence suggested he was traveling with 19-year-old Mary Virginia Dilling, who had been reported missing and endangered.
Sheriff Leroy Ravenell personally commanded the tactical response, coordinating multiple patrol and investigative units to contain the property. Deputies flooded the area, establishing a secure perimeter and cutting off escape routes. Armed units took up positions around the residence, with rifles trained on key entry points, while negotiators moved into position and began sustained contact attempts.
Negotiations continued for nearly two hours, with deputies issuing repeated commands for Martinez to surrender and exit the residence with his hands visible. Operators maintained an aggressive presence, ready for forced entry if compliance was not achieved. As deputies advanced to take him into custody, Martinez produced a firearm and fatally shot himself.
Mary Virginia Dilling was located unharmed and removed. The scene was locked down for evidence collection, and the investigation into the July 31 shooting, along with the standoff, remains active under the oversight of the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office.

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.

On August 5, 2025, at approximately 9:20 p.m., Cohoes Police officers responded to 268 Remsen Street after a resident reported an altercation involving three individuals and a firearm. Officers immediately moved to contain the location, establishing a perimeter and securing the surrounding area to prevent escape or outside interference. At 11:20 p.m., a woman exited the residence and was taken into custody without incident.
Recognizing the continued armed threat inside, command requested the New York State Police Special Operations Response Team (SRT). At approximately 2:00 a.m. on August 6, the SRT deployed to the scene with armored vehicles, fully equipped tactical operators, and sniper-observer teams positioned to dominate all sightlines. Shield-equipped assault elements staged at the primary entry point while secondary breach teams and tactical medics prepared for an extended engagement.
Negotiations continued through the night as SRT maintained an aggressive posture—visible rifles, ballistic shields forward, and continuous illumination of the target residence with high-intensity tactical lighting. At 7:42 a.m., as SRT operators advanced with shields to tighten the containment cordon, Eli Cid Jr. allegedly fired a round toward the advancing troopers. One trooper returned a single shot before the team withdrew to reassess for safety and prevent escalation.
At 8:12 a.m., approximately 30 minutes later, SRT members heard a single gunshot from inside. Command ordered an immediate tactical entry. Shield-led assault teams breached and cleared the interior, locating Cid with a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound. The weapon was recovered next to the body.
The New York Attorney General’s Office has assumed investigative control, reviewing body-worn camera recordings, ballistic evidence, radio communication logs, and forensic reports. No officers discharged additional rounds after the initial exchange. The case remains under active review.

On 08/05/2025 at approximately 5:15 p.m., Peoria Police officers responded to a report of a suspicious man armed with a wooden bat near Glen Oak Avenue and Prospect Road. Upon arrival, officers encountered Brandon M. Lewis, who was actively wielding the bat and struck one officer with it.

Officers from multiple agencies responded to a weapons complaint involving Schace Wayne Looking Horse near Green Grass on 08/05/2025. Looking Horse began fleeing in a vehicle into Haakon County, during which he fired multiple shots at law enforcement vehicles, causing damage but no officer injuries. After disabling his vehicle, Looking Horse took a hostage at gunpoint and forcibly stole a second vehicle.

He continued fleeing with the hostage until the second vehicle became immobilized. At this point, law enforcement officers confronted Looking Horse, and during a prolonged standoff, officers opened fire, fatally shooting him. The hostage sustained minor injuries but survived. No officers were physically harmed during the entire pursuit and standoff.

The South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation is leading the investigation, with assistance from federal agencies due to the involvement of tribal and multiple county law enforcement units.

Shortly after midnight on August 5, 2025, troopers from the Ohio State Highway Patrol initiated a high-intensity vehicle stop on Interstate 70. When the driver refused to yield, the operation escalated into a jurisdiction-spanning pursuit westbound. The Belmont County Sheriff’s Office, along with Bridgeport, Martins Ferry, and St. Clairsville police departments, rapidly coordinated to establish multi-point containment and intercept positions along the interstate corridor.

Aerial overwatch (via helicopter) maintained visual tracking of the fleeing F‑150 at high speeds, ensuring continuous situational awareness.
Ohio State Patrol and local units positioned spike strips and patrol vehicles to obstruct and slow the vehicle's escape trajectory near milepost 216.
Pursuit units pressed forward, weapon systems trained, prepared to engage.
The vehicle ultimately crashed into a barrier near milepost 216. First responders converged instantly, establishing a secure perimeter. The driver was located inside with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Deputies executed immediate life-saving measures: CPR and emergency response protocols. The man was declared dead.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol is leading the investigation, systematically collecting dashcam video, air footage, radio traffic logs, and forensic evidence to reconstruct the pursuit’s timeline and confirm tactical command decisions.

Police responded to a 911 call from Montaño’s brother, reporting that Montaño, experiencing a mental health crisis, had a kitchen knife and a utility knife and threatened to kill him and their mother. The brother told dispatch, “He has mental issues,” and said Montaño was blocking their mother’s exit. Officers waited outside the home for less-lethal tools that were not available in their vehicles. When Montaño emerged through the front door holding both knives and moved toward them, officers opened fire within seconds. Montaño, a reserve U.S. Marine with ongoing mental health struggles, died from his injuries. His family and supporters say police should have used non-lethal options and de-escalation tactics instead of deadly force, describing him as someone who needed help, not to be killed. Civil rights attorney John Burris, representing the family, said this was the killing of a military veteran in crisis, not a violent threat.
.
Officer Nicholas Remick:
Remick was one of the two officers who killed Montaño. In February 2025, Remick and Officer Jessica Khalil fatally shot Jose Mendez-Rios, who they believed was armed but was holding only a knife sheath. The California Department of Justice is investigating that shooting under its protocol for unarmed-involved cases. Remick is also named in at least two federal lawsuits alleging excessive force, including a 2024 incident where he and another officer allegedly assaulted a civilian who was filming a police chase. Attorney John Burris noted that Remick has been involved in two shootings and a beating within a short span.
