Upon arrival, deputies observed Thompson in the driveway. He approached his gray Dodge pickup, retrieved a large-caliber rifle, and advanced toward the deputies in a threatening manner.

On July 15, 2024, Steven Kissack, a well-known unhoused man in Juneau, Alaska, was shot and killed after a confrontation with police officers. Around 1:00 PM, officers from the Juneau Police Department responded to a report of an assault involving Kissack on Front Street. According to the police, Kissack produced a knife and failed to comply with their commands. To de-escalate the situation, officers deployed beanbag rounds, but the confrontation escalated further when Kissack allegedly charged at them. Several officers opened fire, fatally shooting him.

Kissack had a history with law enforcement, including a 2021 arrest for shoplifting in which police claimed he was in possession of a bladed weapon, a charge he disputed. The details surrounding that case are still unclear, as records of its resolution have not surfaced.
.
Community members remember Kissack as a friendly and helpful individual who had lived on the streets with his malamute dog for over a decade, supporting other unhoused individuals in Juneau. His death has sparked conversations about police interactions with the homeless community.
.
The shooting is being investigated by the Alaska State Troopers, and further details regarding the incident are still under review.
.
Officer Chris Gifford, the shooter officer, was previously involved in a December 2016 shooting incident where he fired at a Jeremie Shaun Tinney who pointed an object resembling a rifle at officers.
