Event : Suicide under police duress
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
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.

Location : 9330 North 30th Street
City : Tampa
County : Hillsborough
State : Florida
Agency : Tampa Police Department
Officer(s) : Jordan Laupert
Cause of Death : Suicide
Event : Suicide under police duress
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
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.

City : Springfield
County : Lane
State : Oregon
Agency : Springfield Police Department, Oregon State Police

Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during arrest
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
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.

County : Shawnee
State : Kansas

Event : Suicide under police duress
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
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.

Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Shot and killed by deputies after standoff
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
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.
