On 08/07/2025 at approximately 9:09 p.m., Paul Rodriguez called the Bell County Communications Center and reported that he was outside the Temple Police Department and was not afraid to shoot himself. He repeatedly told dispatchers that he was "done," wanted police to shoot him, and said he was armed with a pistol. Officers responded to the front of the police department and began communicating with him.
During the approximately 11-minute encounter, Rodriguez held what appeared to be a handgun to his head while officers repeatedly attempted to de-escalate the situation and instructed him to drop the weapon. According to Temple police, Rodriguez lowered the weapon from his head and pointed it toward officers. Multiple officers fired their weapons, striking Rodriguez. Officers immediately rendered medical aid until Temple Fire & Rescue and EMS personnel arrived. Rodriguez was pronounced dead at the scene.
The weapon Rodriguez carried was later determined to be a UMAREX .177-caliber BB air pistol designed to closely resemble a real handgun. Temple police released photographs of the BB pistol during a subsequent update.
The Texas Rangers assumed the criminal investigation into the shooting. The Temple Police Department also opened an internal administrative investigation. Seven Temple police officers were placed on administrative leave in accordance with department policy pending completion of the investigations.

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 5:45 p.m., a Greensboro police officer was flagged down by a resident in the 1600 block of Marion Street regarding a man who was reportedly trespassing on nearby property. Officer Lewis J. Wyatt contacted the man, later identified as Said Ezzine, 48, and repeatedly instructed him to stop and speak with police. Ezzine ignored the commands and walked back onto the property.
During the encounter, Ezzine entered a shed and armed himself with a metal steering-wheel lock. He then returned to the shed, picked up a circular saw blade, and later armed himself with a large pipe wrench while continuing to ignore repeated commands to drop the weapons.

Officers rendered medical aid until paramedics arrived, but Montaño was pronounced dead at the scene.
Richmond Police Chief Bisa French stated that Montaño had a documented history of mental health struggles and that his family had been attempting to obtain treatment for him before calling 911. The department later released body-camera footage, 911 recordings, and additional investigative materials during a public briefing.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office assumed the criminal investigation into the shooting, while the Richmond Police Department initiated an internal administrative review. Officer Nicholas Remick had previously been named in civil lawsuits alleging police misconduct, a history that drew additional public attention following the shooting. 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.

On 08/01/2025, Ricardo Jorge Santos, 42, a New Jersey State Police Sergeant First Class assigned to the dignitary protection unit, traveled to the Franklin Township home of his former girlfriend, Dr. Lauren Semanchik, where investigators determined he fatally shot Semanchik and her boyfriend, Tyler Webb, before leaving the scene. Santos had previously served on Governor Phil Murphy's security detail. Authorities said Semanchik had ended the relationship in September 2024 and had reported ongoing harassment and controlling behavior after the breakup.
After the shootings, Santos drove to Johnson Park in Piscataway, where he died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside his vehicle. Law enforcement located him several hours after the killings. The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office identified Santos as the suspected shooter and stated the evidence indicated he acted alone.
The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office, the New Jersey State Police Major Crime Unit, and the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office investigated the homicide and suicide. The investigation remains ongoing.

On 08/02/2025, deputies with the Taos County Sheriff's Office responded to the Midtown Lounge in Arroyo Hondo after receiving reports of an intoxicated and disruptive man. Deputies contacted Patrick Edward Walsh, 64, and attempted to take him into custody.
