Event : Killed by police during DUI-related pursuit

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On November 28, 2021, at approximately 2:04 p.m., the BP Express gas station in Culver, Indiana, reported an intoxicated individual attempting to purchase alcohol. The individual, later identified as 33-year-old Dylan Wade Bush, departed the scene in a white Chevrolet Cavalier before officers arrived.
.
A Culver Police Department officer located Bush's vehicle near State Road 17 and Washington Street around 2:07 p.m. and initiated a pursuit when Bush failed to stop. The chase, involving high speeds exceeding 100 mph, continued through Marshall County for approximately 13.5 miles.
.
Sergeant Matthew Brown of the Marshall County Sheriff's Department joined the pursuit near State Road 10 and Sycamore Road. The pursuit concluded when officers boxed in Bush's vehicle at the First National Bank of Monterey's parking lot on North Lake Shore Drive. Sergeant Brown positioned his patrol car in front of Bush's vehicle and exited to issue commands. Bush ignored the commands and accelerated, pinning Sergeant Brown between the vehicles. In response, Sergeant Brown fired three shots from his service weapon, striking Bush.
.
After being shot, Bush's vehicle traveled several hundred feet before colliding with an unoccupied pickup truck in a nearby parking lot. Officers administered first aid until paramedics arrived, but Bush was pronounced dead at the scene by the Marshall County Coroner.
.
An autopsy revealed Bush had a blood alcohol content of .23%, nearly three times the legal limit, and the presence of cannabinoids and methanol in his system. The Marshall County Prosecutor's Office determined Sergeant Brown's use of deadly force was justified.
.
Total Fatalities/Injuries:
• 1 fatality (Dylan Wade Bush)

Date : 11/27/2021

Location : 459 N Burdick Street

City : Kalamazoo

County : Kalamazoo

State : Michigan

Agency : Kalamazoo Public Safety

Officer(s) : Unknown

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police after shooting

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 11/27/2021, at the Kalamazoo Transportation Center located at 459 N Burdick St, Anthony Oliver, a 54-year-old male, allegedly opened fire on a bus, shooting three passengers. The Kalamazoo Public Safety officers responded to the scene approximately two minutes after the initial 911 call was made. Upon arrival, they encountered an active shooter situation. Responding officers, engaged in a shootout with Oliver and Sean and killed him. The three others sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The shooting led to a temporary suspension of Metro bus services for the day. Investigations into the incident, including Oliver's motives and whether he knew any of the victims, were ongoing at the time. Oliver had a history of mental health issues, with his family indicating he was seeking help for these problems prior to the incident. The Kalamazoo County prosecutor later ruled that the officers' actions were in self-defense, and no criminal charges were filed against them. Video evidence from body cameras, bus cameras, and the transportation center's security cameras captured much of the incident. Oliver's family has spoken out about his struggles with mental health, and community reactions have called for increased security at the bus station and better mental health support.
