An Ogden Police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Feb. 5 in Utah. Police suspected the man in connection to aggravated robbery, vehicle theft and sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud of the brave work our officers do,\u201d Young said, reported FOX 13. \u201cEvents like these bring focus to the challenging circumstances police officers face each day in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as a stark reminder in just how difficult police work can be. The threat appeared suddenly, and armed. More disturbingly, even though the officer had a gun on him, the suspect still refused to comply. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Armed Suspect Told to Drop Gun, Says 'Nope,' Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/02\/ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15.

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught, somehow, someway, manages to duck just in time. She then pulls her own sidearm and engages the threat. She fires several shots, striking the subjects multiple times, reported WLWT5. Vaught, miraculously avoided injury during the firefight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WARNING:<\/strong> The above Ogden Police shooting of Dino Raul Morales involves graphic content; viewer discretion advised. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ogden Police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Feb. 5 in Utah. Police suspected the man in connection to aggravated robbery, vehicle theft and sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud of the brave work our officers do,\u201d Young said, reported FOX 13. \u201cEvents like these bring focus to the challenging circumstances police officers face each day in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as a stark reminder in just how difficult police work can be. The threat appeared suddenly, and armed. More disturbingly, even though the officer had a gun on him, the suspect still refused to comply. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Armed Suspect Told to Drop Gun, Says 'Nope,' Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/02\/ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud of the brave work our officers do,\u201d Young said, reported FOX 13. \u201cEvents like these bring focus to the challenging circumstances police officers face each day in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as a stark reminder in just how difficult police work can be. The threat appeared suddenly, and armed. More disturbingly, even though the officer had a gun on him, the suspect still refused to comply. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Armed Suspect Told to Drop Gun, Says 'Nope,' Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/02\/ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

\"This video is chilling and difficult to watch, but it makes one thing clear: Police Officers Wells and Murphy saved lives,\" PBA President Patrick Lynch told ABC7. \"They saved the lives of that domestic violence victim and her children, and they saved each other's lives - all because they had the training, skill and courage of New York City police officers. For anyone questioning whether we need police officers responding to these types of situations, this video is the answer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15. Door cam footage<\/a> shows the incredibly fast situation unfold, where Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Sara Vaught somehow dodged a headshot at extreme close range before returning fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught Ducks Headshot, Returns Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A routine wellness check transpired, where deputies attempted to speak with Runion. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the situation turned deadly. Footage shows an arm suddenly thrust out of the doorway. A revolver points directly at Vaught's head, and a shot rings out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught, somehow, someway, manages to duck just in time. She then pulls her own sidearm and engages the threat. She fires several shots, striking the subjects multiple times, reported WLWT5. Vaught, miraculously avoided injury during the firefight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities took Runion, 56, to to a local hospital for treatment. Police say he remains in critical, but stable condition, reported WLWT5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaught ended up really lucky, and she responded well when a situation turned violent seemingly out of nowhere. The shootout illustrates just how difficult the job law enforcement officers face each and every day. The deputies show up worried for a man's life. They are there to help him. But in a heartbeat, a troubled soul pulled a gun and threatened everyone around him. It reminds us of the 2018 Lakemoor Police shooting of Kenneth Edwin Martell<\/a>, who pulled a gun on an officer and nearly killed her before backup arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are likely some tactical teaching points here as well, ultimately, Vaught got lucky.

The horrific shootout took place Nov. 24 in Queens. After a 41-year-old woman walked into a police precinct reporting domestic violence, two officers accompanied her home. Not long after walking into the home, 41-year-old Rondell Goppy walks in behind them. Footage<\/a> shows him immediately open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambush sent officers Joseph Moody and Christopher Wells scrambling. Video shows full on chaos descend on the room. Each officer took fire, but somehow managed to return fire as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect fired 11 times, reported ABC7<\/a>. He struck Officer Wells in the thigh. Meanwhile, Murphy took rounds in both hands. But the officers, even wounded, fired 24 shots of their own. In the end, officers shot and killed the Goppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This video is chilling and difficult to watch, but it makes one thing clear: Police Officers Wells and Murphy saved lives,\" PBA President Patrick Lynch told ABC7. \"They saved the lives of that domestic violence victim and her children, and they saved each other's lives - all because they had the training, skill and courage of New York City police officers. For anyone questioning whether we need police officers responding to these types of situations, this video is the answer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They saved that woman's life,\" Mayor Bill de Blasio said, reported ABC7. \"I want to be crystal clear. Because these officers were there, that woman is alive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NYPD ambush shows just how everything can change in a mere instant. Officers Wells and Murphy faced an incredibly difficult scenario.

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15. Door cam footage<\/a> shows the incredibly fast situation unfold, where Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Sara Vaught somehow dodged a headshot at extreme close range before returning fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught Ducks Headshot, Returns Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A routine wellness check transpired, where deputies attempted to speak with Runion. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the situation turned deadly. Footage shows an arm suddenly thrust out of the doorway. A revolver points directly at Vaught's head, and a shot rings out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught, somehow, someway, manages to duck just in time. She then pulls her own sidearm and engages the threat. She fires several shots, striking the subjects multiple times, reported WLWT5. Vaught, miraculously avoided injury during the firefight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities took Runion, 56, to to a local hospital for treatment. Police say he remains in critical, but stable condition, reported WLWT5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaught ended up really lucky, and she responded well when a situation turned violent seemingly out of nowhere. The shootout illustrates just how difficult the job law enforcement officers face each and every day. The deputies show up worried for a man's life. They are there to help him. But in a heartbeat, a troubled soul pulled a gun and threatened everyone around him. It reminds us of the 2018 Lakemoor Police shooting of Kenneth Edwin Martell<\/a>, who pulled a gun on an officer and nearly killed her before backup arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ogden Police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Feb. 5 in Utah. Police suspected the man in connection to aggravated robbery, vehicle theft and sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two NYPD officers fought for their lives during an ambush back in November. The victims of an intense eight-second ambush, both wounded and in serious jeopardy, managed to stay in the fight. In the end, they not only saved their own lives, but a domestic violence victim as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The horrific shootout took place Nov. 24 in Queens. After a 41-year-old woman walked into a police precinct reporting domestic violence, two officers accompanied her home. Not long after walking into the home, 41-year-old Rondell Goppy walks in behind them. Footage<\/a> shows him immediately open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambush sent officers Joseph Moody and Christopher Wells scrambling. Video shows full on chaos descend on the room. Each officer took fire, but somehow managed to return fire as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect fired 11 times, reported ABC7<\/a>. He struck Officer Wells in the thigh. Meanwhile, Murphy took rounds in both hands. But the officers, even wounded, fired 24 shots of their own. In the end, officers shot and killed the Goppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This video is chilling and difficult to watch, but it makes one thing clear: Police Officers Wells and Murphy saved lives,\" PBA President Patrick Lynch told ABC7. \"They saved the lives of that domestic violence victim and her children, and they saved each other's lives - all because they had the training, skill and courage of New York City police officers.

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15.

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two NYPD officers fought for their lives during an ambush back in November. The victims of an intense eight-second ambush, both wounded and in serious jeopardy, managed to stay in the fight. In the end, they not only saved their own lives, but a domestic violence victim as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush in Queens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The horrific shootout took place Nov. 24 in Queens. After a 41-year-old woman walked into a police precinct reporting domestic violence, two officers accompanied her home. Not long after walking into the home, 41-year-old Rondell Goppy walks in behind them. Footage<\/a> shows him immediately open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambush sent officers Joseph Moody and Christopher Wells scrambling. Video shows full on chaos descend on the room. Each officer took fire, but somehow managed to return fire as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect fired 11 times, reported ABC7<\/a>. He struck Officer Wells in the thigh. Meanwhile, Murphy took rounds in both hands. But the officers, even wounded, fired 24 shots of their own. In the end, officers shot and killed the Goppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This video is chilling and difficult to watch, but it makes one thing clear: Police Officers Wells and Murphy saved lives,\" PBA President Patrick Lynch told ABC7. \"They saved the lives of that domestic violence victim and her children, and they saved each other's lives - all because they had the training, skill and courage of New York City police officers. For anyone questioning whether we need police officers responding to these types of situations, this video is the answer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They saved that woman's life,\" Mayor Bill de Blasio said, reported ABC7. \"I want to be crystal clear. Because these officers were there, that woman is alive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush Takeaways<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The NYPD ambush shows just how everything can change in a mere instant. Officers Wells and Murphy faced an incredibly difficult scenario. Out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, a bad guy tried to take them out. But they managed somehow to stay in the fight. And that made all the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There is no surprise here today what we have to be thankful for,\" Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said following the officers' release from the hospital, reported ABC7. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NYPD Officers Fight for Their Lives During Ambush, Save Woman","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nypd-ambush-officers-fight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/08\/nypd-ambush-officers-fight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124942,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-03 14:18:57","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-03 19:18:57","post_content":"\n

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15. Door cam footage<\/a> shows the incredibly fast situation unfold, where Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Sara Vaught somehow dodged a headshot at extreme close range before returning fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught Ducks Headshot, Returns Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A routine wellness check transpired, where deputies attempted to speak with Runion. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the situation turned deadly. Footage shows an arm suddenly thrust out of the doorway. A revolver points directly at Vaught's head, and a shot rings out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught, somehow, someway, manages to duck just in time. She then pulls her own sidearm and engages the threat. She fires several shots, striking the subjects multiple times, reported WLWT5. Vaught, miraculously avoided injury during the firefight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities took Runion, 56, to to a local hospital for treatment. Police say he remains in critical, but stable condition, reported WLWT5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaught ended up really lucky, and she responded well when a situation turned violent seemingly out of nowhere. The shootout illustrates just how difficult the job law enforcement officers face each and every day. The deputies show up worried for a man's life. They are there to help him. But in a heartbeat, a troubled soul pulled a gun and threatened everyone around him. It reminds us of the 2018 Lakemoor Police shooting of Kenneth Edwin Martell<\/a>, who pulled a gun on an officer and nearly killed her before backup arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are likely some tactical teaching points here as well, ultimately, Vaught got lucky.

Two NYPD officers fought for their lives during an ambush back in November. The victims of an intense eight-second ambush, both wounded and in serious jeopardy, managed to stay in the fight. In the end, they not only saved their own lives, but a domestic violence victim as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush in Queens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The horrific shootout took place Nov. 24 in Queens. After a 41-year-old woman walked into a police precinct reporting domestic violence, two officers accompanied her home. Not long after walking into the home, 41-year-old Rondell Goppy walks in behind them. Footage<\/a> shows him immediately open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambush sent officers Joseph Moody and Christopher Wells scrambling. Video shows full on chaos descend on the room. Each officer took fire, but somehow managed to return fire as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect fired 11 times, reported ABC7<\/a>. He struck Officer Wells in the thigh. Meanwhile, Murphy took rounds in both hands. But the officers, even wounded, fired 24 shots of their own. In the end, officers shot and killed the Goppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This video is chilling and difficult to watch, but it makes one thing clear: Police Officers Wells and Murphy saved lives,\" PBA President Patrick Lynch told ABC7. \"They saved the lives of that domestic violence victim and her children, and they saved each other's lives - all because they had the training, skill and courage of New York City police officers. For anyone questioning whether we need police officers responding to these types of situations, this video is the answer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush Takeaways<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The NYPD ambush shows just how everything can change in a mere instant. Officers Wells and Murphy faced an incredibly difficult scenario. Out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, a bad guy tried to take them out. But they managed somehow to stay in the fight. And that made all the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15. Door cam footage<\/a> shows the incredibly fast situation unfold, where Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Sara Vaught somehow dodged a headshot at extreme close range before returning fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught Ducks Headshot, Returns Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A routine wellness check transpired, where deputies attempted to speak with Runion. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the situation turned deadly. Footage shows an arm suddenly thrust out of the doorway. A revolver points directly at Vaught's head, and a shot rings out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught, somehow, someway, manages to duck just in time. She then pulls her own sidearm and engages the threat. She fires several shots, striking the subjects multiple times, reported WLWT5. Vaught, miraculously avoided injury during the firefight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities took Runion, 56, to to a local hospital for treatment. Police say he remains in critical, but stable condition, reported WLWT5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaught ended up really lucky, and she responded well when a situation turned violent seemingly out of nowhere. The shootout illustrates just how difficult the job law enforcement officers face each and every day. The deputies show up worried for a man's life. They are there to help him. But in a heartbeat, a troubled soul pulled a gun and threatened everyone around him. It reminds us of the 2018 Lakemoor Police shooting of Kenneth Edwin Martell<\/a>, who pulled a gun on an officer and nearly killed her before backup arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are likely some tactical teaching points here as well, ultimately, Vaught got lucky. But most importantly, she stayed in the fight and lived. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Deputy Narrowly Dodges Headshot, Fires Back & Drops Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"deputy-sara-vaught-dodges-headshot","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/03\/deputy-sara-vaught-dodges-headshot\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124950,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-02 12:30:24","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-02 17:30:24","post_content":"\n

WARNING:<\/strong> The above Ogden Police shooting of Dino Raul Morales involves graphic content; viewer discretion advised. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ogden Police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Feb. 5 in Utah. Police suspected the man in connection to aggravated robbery, vehicle theft and sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud of the brave work our officers do,\u201d Young said, reported FOX 13. \u201cEvents like these bring focus to the challenging circumstances police officers face each day in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as a stark reminder in just how difficult police work can be. The threat appeared suddenly, and armed. More disturbingly, even though the officer had a gun on him, the suspect still refused to comply. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Armed Suspect Told to Drop Gun, Says 'Nope,' Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/02\/ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

WARNING:<\/strong> The above Ogden Police shooting of Dino Raul Morales involves graphic content; viewer discretion advised. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ogden Police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Feb. 5 in Utah. Police suspected the man in connection to aggravated robbery, vehicle theft and sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud of the brave work our officers do,\u201d Young said, reported FOX 13. \u201cEvents like these bring focus to the challenging circumstances police officers face each day in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as a stark reminder in just how difficult police work can be. The threat appeared suddenly, and armed. More disturbingly, even though the officer had a gun on him, the suspect still refused to comply. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Armed Suspect Told to Drop Gun, Says 'Nope,' Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/02\/ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Two NYPD officers fought for their lives during an ambush back in November. The victims of an intense eight-second ambush, both wounded and in serious jeopardy, managed to stay in the fight. In the end, they not only saved their own lives, but a domestic violence victim as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush in Queens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The horrific shootout took place Nov. 24 in Queens. After a 41-year-old woman walked into a police precinct reporting domestic violence, two officers accompanied her home. Not long after walking into the home, 41-year-old Rondell Goppy walks in behind them. Footage<\/a> shows him immediately open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambush sent officers Joseph Moody and Christopher Wells scrambling. Video shows full on chaos descend on the room. Each officer took fire, but somehow managed to return fire as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect fired 11 times, reported ABC7<\/a>. He struck Officer Wells in the thigh. Meanwhile, Murphy took rounds in both hands. But the officers, even wounded, fired 24 shots of their own. In the end, officers shot and killed the Goppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This video is chilling and difficult to watch, but it makes one thing clear: Police Officers Wells and Murphy saved lives,\" PBA President Patrick Lynch told ABC7. \"They saved the lives of that domestic violence victim and her children, and they saved each other's lives - all because they had the training, skill and courage of New York City police officers. For anyone questioning whether we need police officers responding to these types of situations, this video is the answer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They saved that woman's life,\" Mayor Bill de Blasio said, reported ABC7. \"I want to be crystal clear. Because these officers were there, that woman is alive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush Takeaways<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The NYPD ambush shows just how everything can change in a mere instant. Officers Wells and Murphy faced an incredibly difficult scenario. Out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, a bad guy tried to take them out. But they managed somehow to stay in the fight. And that made all the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There is no surprise here today what we have to be thankful for,\" Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said following the officers' release from the hospital, reported ABC7. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NYPD Officers Fight for Their Lives During Ambush, Save Woman","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nypd-ambush-officers-fight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/08\/nypd-ambush-officers-fight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124942,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-03 14:18:57","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-03 19:18:57","post_content":"\n

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15. Door cam footage<\/a> shows the incredibly fast situation unfold, where Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Sara Vaught somehow dodged a headshot at extreme close range before returning fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught Ducks Headshot, Returns Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A routine wellness check transpired, where deputies attempted to speak with Runion. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the situation turned deadly. Footage shows an arm suddenly thrust out of the doorway. A revolver points directly at Vaught's head, and a shot rings out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two NYPD officers fought for their lives during an ambush back in November. The victims of an intense eight-second ambush, both wounded and in serious jeopardy, managed to stay in the fight. In the end, they not only saved their own lives, but a domestic violence victim as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush in Queens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The horrific shootout took place Nov. 24 in Queens. After a 41-year-old woman walked into a police precinct reporting domestic violence, two officers accompanied her home. Not long after walking into the home, 41-year-old Rondell Goppy walks in behind them. Footage<\/a> shows him immediately open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambush sent officers Joseph Moody and Christopher Wells scrambling. Video shows full on chaos descend on the room. Each officer took fire, but somehow managed to return fire as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect fired 11 times, reported ABC7<\/a>. He struck Officer Wells in the thigh. Meanwhile, Murphy took rounds in both hands. But the officers, even wounded, fired 24 shots of their own. In the end, officers shot and killed the Goppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This video is chilling and difficult to watch, but it makes one thing clear: Police Officers Wells and Murphy saved lives,\" PBA President Patrick Lynch told ABC7. \"They saved the lives of that domestic violence victim and her children, and they saved each other's lives - all because they had the training, skill and courage of New York City police officers. For anyone questioning whether we need police officers responding to these types of situations, this video is the answer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They saved that woman's life,\" Mayor Bill de Blasio said, reported ABC7. \"I want to be crystal clear. Because these officers were there, that woman is alive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush Takeaways<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The NYPD ambush shows just how everything can change in a mere instant. Officers Wells and Murphy faced an incredibly difficult scenario. Out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, a bad guy tried to take them out. But they managed somehow to stay in the fight. And that made all the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There is no surprise here today what we have to be thankful for,\" Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said following the officers' release from the hospital, reported ABC7. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NYPD Officers Fight for Their Lives During Ambush, Save Woman","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nypd-ambush-officers-fight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/08\/nypd-ambush-officers-fight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124942,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-03 14:18:57","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-03 19:18:57","post_content":"\n

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15. Door cam footage<\/a> shows the incredibly fast situation unfold, where Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Sara Vaught somehow dodged a headshot at extreme close range before returning fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught Ducks Headshot, Returns Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A routine wellness check transpired, where deputies attempted to speak with Runion. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the situation turned deadly. Footage shows an arm suddenly thrust out of the doorway. A revolver points directly at Vaught's head, and a shot rings out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught, somehow, someway, manages to duck just in time. She then pulls her own sidearm and engages the threat. She fires several shots, striking the subjects multiple times, reported WLWT5. Vaught, miraculously avoided injury during the firefight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities took Runion, 56, to to a local hospital for treatment. Police say he remains in critical, but stable condition, reported WLWT5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaught ended up really lucky, and she responded well when a situation turned violent seemingly out of nowhere. The shootout illustrates just how difficult the job law enforcement officers face each and every day. The deputies show up worried for a man's life. They are there to help him. But in a heartbeat, a troubled soul pulled a gun and threatened everyone around him. It reminds us of the 2018 Lakemoor Police shooting of Kenneth Edwin Martell<\/a>, who pulled a gun on an officer and nearly killed her before backup arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are likely some tactical teaching points here as well, ultimately, Vaught got lucky. But most importantly, she stayed in the fight and lived. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Deputy Narrowly Dodges Headshot, Fires Back & Drops Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"deputy-sara-vaught-dodges-headshot","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/03\/deputy-sara-vaught-dodges-headshot\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124950,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-02 12:30:24","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-02 17:30:24","post_content":"\n

WARNING:<\/strong> The above Ogden Police shooting of Dino Raul Morales involves graphic content; viewer discretion advised. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ogden Police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Feb. 5 in Utah. Police suspected the man in connection to aggravated robbery, vehicle theft and sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud of the brave work our officers do,\u201d Young said, reported FOX 13. \u201cEvents like these bring focus to the challenging circumstances police officers face each day in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two NYPD officers fought for their lives during an ambush back in November. The victims of an intense eight-second ambush, both wounded and in serious jeopardy, managed to stay in the fight. In the end, they not only saved their own lives, but a domestic violence victim as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush in Queens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The horrific shootout took place Nov. 24 in Queens. After a 41-year-old woman walked into a police precinct reporting domestic violence, two officers accompanied her home. Not long after walking into the home, 41-year-old Rondell Goppy walks in behind them. Footage<\/a> shows him immediately open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambush sent officers Joseph Moody and Christopher Wells scrambling. Video shows full on chaos descend on the room. Each officer took fire, but somehow managed to return fire as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect fired 11 times, reported ABC7<\/a>. He struck Officer Wells in the thigh. Meanwhile, Murphy took rounds in both hands. But the officers, even wounded, fired 24 shots of their own. In the end, officers shot and killed the Goppy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This video is chilling and difficult to watch, but it makes one thing clear: Police Officers Wells and Murphy saved lives,\" PBA President Patrick Lynch told ABC7. \"They saved the lives of that domestic violence victim and her children, and they saved each other's lives - all because they had the training, skill and courage of New York City police officers. For anyone questioning whether we need police officers responding to these types of situations, this video is the answer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They saved that woman's life,\" Mayor Bill de Blasio said, reported ABC7. \"I want to be crystal clear. Because these officers were there, that woman is alive.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NYPD Ambush Takeaways<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The NYPD ambush shows just how everything can change in a mere instant. Officers Wells and Murphy faced an incredibly difficult scenario. Out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, a bad guy tried to take them out. But they managed somehow to stay in the fight. And that made all the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There is no surprise here today what we have to be thankful for,\" Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said following the officers' release from the hospital, reported ABC7. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NYPD Officers Fight for Their Lives During Ambush, Save Woman","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nypd-ambush-officers-fight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/08\/nypd-ambush-officers-fight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124942,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-03 14:18:57","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-03 19:18:57","post_content":"\n

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15. Door cam footage<\/a> shows the incredibly fast situation unfold, where Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Sara Vaught somehow dodged a headshot at extreme close range before returning fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught Ducks Headshot, Returns Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A routine wellness check transpired, where deputies attempted to speak with Runion. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the situation turned deadly. Footage shows an arm suddenly thrust out of the doorway. A revolver points directly at Vaught's head, and a shot rings out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught, somehow, someway, manages to duck just in time. She then pulls her own sidearm and engages the threat. She fires several shots, striking the subjects multiple times, reported WLWT5. Vaught, miraculously avoided injury during the firefight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities took Runion, 56, to to a local hospital for treatment. Police say he remains in critical, but stable condition, reported WLWT5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaught ended up really lucky, and she responded well when a situation turned violent seemingly out of nowhere. The shootout illustrates just how difficult the job law enforcement officers face each and every day. The deputies show up worried for a man's life. They are there to help him. But in a heartbeat, a troubled soul pulled a gun and threatened everyone around him. It reminds us of the 2018 Lakemoor Police shooting of Kenneth Edwin Martell<\/a>, who pulled a gun on an officer and nearly killed her before backup arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are likely some tactical teaching points here as well, ultimately, Vaught got lucky.

WARNING:<\/strong> The above Ogden Police shooting of Dino Raul Morales involves graphic content; viewer discretion advised. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ogden Police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Feb. 5 in Utah. Police suspected the man in connection to aggravated robbery, vehicle theft and sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud of the brave work our officers do,\u201d Young said, reported FOX 13. \u201cEvents like these bring focus to the challenging circumstances police officers face each day in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as a stark reminder in just how difficult police work can be. The threat appeared suddenly, and armed. More disturbingly, even though the officer had a gun on him, the suspect still refused to comply. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Armed Suspect Told to Drop Gun, Says 'Nope,' Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/02\/ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Former Major League Baseball star and Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees legend Johnny Damon found his way into trouble Feb. 19. Recently released officer body cam footage shows the ball player's recent DUI arrest, where the Damon claimed cops pulled him over for supporting Donald Trump and Blue Lives Matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Johnny Damon Arrested for DUI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred Feb. 19 in Windermere, Florida. Police charged Damon with one count of driving under the influence and another count of resisting an officer without violence, reported CNN<\/a>. Damon ultimately pleaded not guilty to both charges before officials dropped the resisting charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrest affidavit showed Damon nearly four times, or 0.30 percent, over the legal limit in a breathalyzer test, reported CNN. Incredibly, he allegedly blew that amount two hours after the initial stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Damon seemingly severely impaired. The affidavit alleged him \"extremely unsteady on his feet and his speech was extremely slurred,\" reported CNN. Throughout the video, Damon continues to disobey officer commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point, Damon appears to resist against the arresting officer several times. And the officer pushes back, yelling: \"Stop trying to pull away from me!\" Damon mumbles and slurs before replying \"Blue Lives Matter.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I know people are tying to target me because I'm a Trump supporter,\" Damon says later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I don't think that has anything to do with it,\" the officer responds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, it does.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"That's neither here nor there right now; that's not why I'm stopping you,\" the officer responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"If you watch the video, then you saw that the driving pattern wasn't on the video that was being narrated and yet there was a camera in the car that could have recorded that,\" said Stuart Hyman, Damon's lawyer, reported CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further stated the arrest illustrated \"not a textbook example of how a police officer should handle this type of situation,\" reported CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, a bad guy tried to take them out. But they managed somehow to stay in the fight. And that made all the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There is no surprise here today what we have to be thankful for,\" Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said following the officers' release from the hospital, reported ABC7. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NYPD Officers Fight for Their Lives During Ambush, Save Woman","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nypd-ambush-officers-fight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/08\/nypd-ambush-officers-fight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124942,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-03 14:18:57","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-03 19:18:57","post_content":"\n

A man faces attempted murder charges after a wild, intense shootout with police in Deerfield, Ohio, Feb. 15. Door cam footage<\/a> shows the incredibly fast situation unfold, where Warren County Sheriff's Deputy Sara Vaught somehow dodged a headshot at extreme close range before returning fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught Ducks Headshot, Returns Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a man called 911, saying he was concerned his brother might be suicidal, reported WLWT5<\/a>. The man said the suspect, identified as Lance Runion, suffered from emotional issues, along with struggles abusing alcohol and pain pills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He kept telling me, 'I just want to go to sleep. I just want to go to sleep,'\" Runion's brother told the dispatcher, reported WLWT5. \"I just know he's in horrible shape. I've never heard him like this, just hopeless.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A routine wellness check transpired, where deputies attempted to speak with Runion. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the situation turned deadly. Footage shows an arm suddenly thrust out of the doorway. A revolver points directly at Vaught's head, and a shot rings out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Sara Vaught, somehow, someway, manages to duck just in time. She then pulls her own sidearm and engages the threat. She fires several shots, striking the subjects multiple times, reported WLWT5. Vaught, miraculously avoided injury during the firefight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities took Runion, 56, to to a local hospital for treatment. Police say he remains in critical, but stable condition, reported WLWT5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaught ended up really lucky, and she responded well when a situation turned violent seemingly out of nowhere. The shootout illustrates just how difficult the job law enforcement officers face each and every day. The deputies show up worried for a man's life. They are there to help him. But in a heartbeat, a troubled soul pulled a gun and threatened everyone around him. It reminds us of the 2018 Lakemoor Police shooting of Kenneth Edwin Martell<\/a>, who pulled a gun on an officer and nearly killed her before backup arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are likely some tactical teaching points here as well, ultimately, Vaught got lucky. But most importantly, she stayed in the fight and lived. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Deputy Narrowly Dodges Headshot, Fires Back & Drops Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"deputy-sara-vaught-dodges-headshot","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/03\/deputy-sara-vaught-dodges-headshot\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124950,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-02 12:30:24","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-02 17:30:24","post_content":"\n

WARNING:<\/strong> The above Ogden Police shooting of Dino Raul Morales involves graphic content; viewer discretion advised. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Ogden Police officer shot and killed an armed suspect Feb. 5 in Utah. Police suspected the man in connection to aggravated robbery, vehicle theft and sexual assault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ogden Police Kill Armed Suspect in Utah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place when police received a call reporting the alleged crimes. An officer located a suspect, identified as 28-year-old Dino Raul Morales, according to Fox 13<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect took the victim\u2019s vehicle and fled the area when the assault was completed,\u201d said Ogden Police Chief Eric Young in a press conference, reported FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Morales allegedly then offered a ride to another women. When police first located the suspect, the woman remained in the vehicle, reported FOX 13. But the woman managed to escape before Morales ran into a nearby garage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe accepted and ended up in the wrong car at the wrong time,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an officer locate Morales inside the garage. The suspect hid inside the bed of a truck. The officer then asked the suspect repeatedly to show his hands. The officer identified a gun, and demanded several more times drop the weapon. But Morales flat out said, \"Nope.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe suspect refused to comply with commands from the officers,\u201d Young told FOX 13. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the officer proceed to open fire. He fires eight or nine times in rapid succession. The suspect promptly falls back into the truck bed, ending the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very proud of the brave work our officers do,\u201d Young said, reported FOX 13. \u201cEvents like these bring focus to the challenging circumstances police officers face each day in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as a stark reminder in just how difficult police work can be. The threat appeared suddenly, and armed. More disturbingly, even though the officer had a gun on him, the suspect still refused to comply. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Armed Suspect Told to Drop Gun, Says 'Nope,' Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/02\/ogden-police-officer-armed-suspect\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN.

But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life.

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life.

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating.

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9.

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9.

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12.

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser.

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

A New Orleans Police officer faces scrutiny after body cam<\/a> footage shows a questionable shooting. Officer Isaiah Shannon shot 29-year-old Anthony Cowart March 10. And after a review of officer body cam footage, the suspect went free, and now Shannon faces an investigation into his use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOLA Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

The incident shows just how dangerous the job of policing continues to be.

A New Orleans Police officer faces scrutiny after body cam<\/a> footage shows a questionable shooting. Officer Isaiah Shannon shot 29-year-old Anthony Cowart March 10. And after a review of officer body cam footage, the suspect went free, and now Shannon faces an investigation into his use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOLA Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

A New Orleans Police officer faces scrutiny after body cam<\/a> footage shows a questionable shooting. Officer Isaiah Shannon shot 29-year-old Anthony Cowart March 10. And after a review of officer body cam footage, the suspect went free, and now Shannon faces an investigation into his use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOLA Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser.

Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Once safely out of the line of fire, the partner continues radioing for aid. Then footage cuts elsewhere to another officer. From an elevated position, the SWAT officer places five well-aimed shots into Cerda. The shots come in rapid succession, putting Cerda down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This officer impressively acts instinctively. Remember, he's just found out one of his partners has been wounded by rifle fire. Then he immediately sees the same suspect, armed with a rifle. But the officer quickly puts rounds into the threat. He then makes it very clear, telling the suspect not to move or he will be shot again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect eventually died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, reported KTLA 5<\/a>. Meanwhile, officials transported the wounded officer to a local hospital for treatment. He was \"obviously shaken\" but \"grateful to be alive,\" according to KTLA 5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident shows just how dangerous the job of policing continues to be. It also showcases how highly trained operators watch out for each other, completing the mission under the most difficult of circumstances. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: LAPD Swat Officer Shot in Neck During Armed Standoff","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jorge-cerda-lapd-swat","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/30\/jorge-cerda-lapd-swat\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124836,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-23 15:23:09","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-23 19:23:09","post_content":"\n

A New Orleans Police officer faces scrutiny after body cam<\/a> footage shows a questionable shooting. Officer Isaiah Shannon shot 29-year-old Anthony Cowart March 10. And after a review of officer body cam footage, the suspect went free, and now Shannon faces an investigation into his use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOLA Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

\"Rodney's down!,\" his partner radios. \"Officer's down! Officer's down! Rodney's down!\" The officer immediately begins dragging his partner away to safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once safely out of the line of fire, the partner continues radioing for aid. Then footage cuts elsewhere to another officer. From an elevated position, the SWAT officer places five well-aimed shots into Cerda. The shots come in rapid succession, putting Cerda down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This officer impressively acts instinctively. Remember, he's just found out one of his partners has been wounded by rifle fire. Then he immediately sees the same suspect, armed with a rifle. But the officer quickly puts rounds into the threat. He then makes it very clear, telling the suspect not to move or he will be shot again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect eventually died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, reported KTLA 5<\/a>. Meanwhile, officials transported the wounded officer to a local hospital for treatment. He was \"obviously shaken\" but \"grateful to be alive,\" according to KTLA 5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New Orleans Police officer faces scrutiny after body cam<\/a> footage shows a questionable shooting. Officer Isaiah Shannon shot 29-year-old Anthony Cowart March 10. And after a review of officer body cam footage, the suspect went free, and now Shannon faces an investigation into his use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOLA Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

The incident began when police responded to a call of a man firing a rifle into the air in a backyard. Police then found the 36-year old Cerda armed with a rifle, reported mynewsla.com<\/a>. Police responded by firing tear gas into the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> then shows an LAPD SWAT Officer first take a round in his chest, which his vest blocked. However, moments later, a round strikes the officer in the neck while in a covering position at the corner of the building. He immediately falls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rodney's down!,\" his partner radios. \"Officer's down! Officer's down! Rodney's down!\" The officer immediately begins dragging his partner away to safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once safely out of the line of fire, the partner continues radioing for aid. Then footage cuts elsewhere to another officer. From an elevated position, the SWAT officer places five well-aimed shots into Cerda. The shots come in rapid succession, putting Cerda down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This officer impressively acts instinctively. Remember, he's just found out one of his partners has been wounded by rifle fire. Then he immediately sees the same suspect, armed with a rifle. But the officer quickly puts rounds into the threat. He then makes it very clear, telling the suspect not to move or he will be shot again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect eventually died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, reported KTLA 5<\/a>. Meanwhile, officials transported the wounded officer to a local hospital for treatment. He was \"obviously shaken\" but \"grateful to be alive,\" according to KTLA 5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident shows just how dangerous the job of policing continues to be. It also showcases how highly trained operators watch out for each other, completing the mission under the most difficult of circumstances. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: LAPD Swat Officer Shot in Neck During Armed Standoff","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jorge-cerda-lapd-swat","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/30\/jorge-cerda-lapd-swat\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124836,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-23 15:23:09","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-23 19:23:09","post_content":"\n

A New Orleans Police officer faces scrutiny after body cam<\/a> footage shows a questionable shooting. Officer Isaiah Shannon shot 29-year-old Anthony Cowart March 10. And after a review of officer body cam footage, the suspect went free, and now Shannon faces an investigation into his use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOLA Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

LAPD SWAT Takes on Jorge Cerda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a man firing a rifle into the air in a backyard. Police then found the 36-year old Cerda armed with a rifle, reported mynewsla.com<\/a>. Police responded by firing tear gas into the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> then shows an LAPD SWAT Officer first take a round in his chest, which his vest blocked. However, moments later, a round strikes the officer in the neck while in a covering position at the corner of the building. He immediately falls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rodney's down!,\" his partner radios. \"Officer's down! Officer's down! Rodney's down!\" The officer immediately begins dragging his partner away to safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once safely out of the line of fire, the partner continues radioing for aid. Then footage cuts elsewhere to another officer. From an elevated position, the SWAT officer places five well-aimed shots into Cerda. The shots come in rapid succession, putting Cerda down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This officer impressively acts instinctively. Remember, he's just found out one of his partners has been wounded by rifle fire. Then he immediately sees the same suspect, armed with a rifle. But the officer quickly puts rounds into the threat. He then makes it very clear, telling the suspect not to move or he will be shot again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect eventually died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, reported KTLA 5<\/a>. Meanwhile, officials transported the wounded officer to a local hospital for treatment. He was \"obviously shaken\" but \"grateful to be alive,\" according to KTLA 5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident shows just how dangerous the job of policing continues to be. It also showcases how highly trained operators watch out for each other, completing the mission under the most difficult of circumstances. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: LAPD Swat Officer Shot in Neck During Armed Standoff","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jorge-cerda-lapd-swat","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/30\/jorge-cerda-lapd-swat\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124836,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-23 15:23:09","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-23 19:23:09","post_content":"\n

A New Orleans Police officer faces scrutiny after body cam<\/a> footage shows a questionable shooting. Officer Isaiah Shannon shot 29-year-old Anthony Cowart March 10. And after a review of officer body cam footage, the suspect went free, and now Shannon faces an investigation into his use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOLA Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser.

An LAPD SWAT Officer narrowly escaped death recently during an intense armed standoff near the USC campus.

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage out of Kentucky shows just how fast a situation can turn. A seemingly routine stop turned fatal when armed felon Randall Lockaby pulled a gun out of nowhere. Footage shows officers quickly engage Lockaby, stopping the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Armed Felon Randall Lockaby Pulls Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police stopped a red Ford F-150 around 11 p.m. on the night of Feb. 20, reported WCPO 9<\/a>. Officers Sean Dooley and Jacob Bolton approached the vehicle after an alleged traffic violation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Dooley proceeds to question the suspect, conversationally, while Bolton hangs back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Not that I care, is there any weapons in here?\" Dooley asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No,\" Lockaby replies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I'm just curious, I always just ask,\" Dooley says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey I don't blame you, this is a dangerous job right here,\" Lockaby says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a series of questions Dooley lets the suspect know he's exhibiting suspicious behavior. After the suspect refuses a search, Dooley asks Lockaby to step out for a K9 drug sweep. Then, as Lockaby gets out of the truck, he growls \"I can't.\" And that's when he pulls the pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Dooley swipe at the pistol and back away. Then shots immediately ring out. But when viewing the vehicle footage, it shows Bolton pull his sidearm quickly to engage the threat. His action likely saved his partner's life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I think it is very heroic, the effort of both, Officer Dooley to save his own life by smacking the barrel of the gun that Mr. Lockaby produced away from him and retreating around the front of the truck while he opened fire, and especially the performance of Officer Bolton,\" Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said during a press conference, reported WPCO 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police found Lockaby with two 9mm handguns, a .22 Derringer and also a Taurus revolver in .357, reported WPCO 9. A prior felony conviction in Pennsylvania for Lockaby made possession of the firearms illegal. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Felon Pulls Gun on Villa Hills Officers, Gets Shot Dead in Kentucky","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/22\/randall-lockaby-shooting-kentucky\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124854,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-18 14:20:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-18 18:20:35","post_content":"\n

Metro Nashville Police attempted at length to talk down a seemingly suicidal woman, later identified as Melissa Wooden, during a mental health call March 12. Then Wooden's mother arrived on the scene, which seemingly made matters worse and led to her shooting. Wooden survived the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nashville Police Shoot Melissa Wooden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call. The dispatcher warned officers the suspect threatened to harm herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Be advised that she is saying that she wants the police to come so that they can shoot her,\" the dispatcher said, reported WPLN News<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows an agitated woman armed with a pick-axe and a baseball bat. The 33-year-old Wooden said she was \"about to go crazy.\" But one officer stayed measured and tried to calm her down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I understand,\" said officer Ben Williams. \"I hear what you're saying. But what happened? Did you take something today? Can you be honest with me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden informed officers she had been drinking. But she quickly turns to telling officers to go ahead and just kill her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We've established that nobody here is gonna hurt you,\" Williams said. \"OK? Look at me in my eyes and know that I'm telling you the truth. None of us are gonna hurt you. OK? None of us are gonna kill you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers Were Working the Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\"Immediately they begin doing things to try and establish a rapport,\" Department training lead Scott Byrd told WPLN News. \"They get to establishing and maintaining distance from her, so as to not get her further agitated than what she already was.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And though the suspect continued to express distress, she stays relatively calm talking to officers. Then the woman's mother shows up and everything falls apart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She's mentally ill,\" the mother says, after rolling up on a scooter. \"I'm gonna beat you up,\" she says to her daughter. As the mother repeatedly yells at her daughter, the woman clearly grows more agitated. Then the situation takes a turn for the worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally the mother drives her scooter directly at her daughter. Officers finally attempt to Tase the suspect, who fights through it and advances on Officers Williams. Police then open fire, dropping Wooden. Reports state that Wooden received transportation to a local medical center and listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shoots Armed Suicidal Woman After Mom Screws Up Talks","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/18\/nashville-police-melissa-wooden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124862,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-17 15:34:00","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-17 19:34:00","post_content":"\n

WARNING: The above shooting of Ethan Freeman contains graphic content and language. Viewer discretion advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hampshire investigators recently ruled an officer justified in the October 2020 fatal shooting of Ethan Freeman. The attorney general's office said Thornton Police Officer Matthew Yao was justified in his use of deadly force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ethan Freeman Shot After Charging Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows Yao interacting with the 37-year-old Freeman multiple times throughout the day that end with the shooting. In all, Yao encountered Freeman three times on the day of the shooting, reported wcax.com<\/a>. He first helped Freeman at a local school, where the man asked for medical help. He later comforted Freeman, who appears mentally disturbed throughout the footage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later that day, a 911 call brought Officer Yao to Freeman's apartment. He found Yao naked and bloody inside. He reportedly held a broken piece of furniture while masturbating. You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n

A Nashville shootout left a metro officer injured and a suspect dead March 12. Recently release officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the entire incident play out between officer Josh Baker and 31-year-old Nika Nicole Holbert, one that turned violent quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nika Nicole Holbert Opens Fire on Nashville Officer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when MNPD Field Training Officer Josh Baker stopped Holbert. Police say the vehicle's registration to a convicted felon with six warrant for arrest, warranted the stop That's when Baker, a 14-year veteran, encountered Holbert, reported CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker order Holbert out of the vehicle. Though she objects, she initially complies with all demands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Listen,\" Baker says, asking Holbert to quit attempting to get back into her vehicle. \"Just come back here. I just think we're getting off on the wrong foot.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Baker appears to discover marijuana and a white substance in clear bags. That's when Holbert's behavior begins to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Her compliance changed after Officer Baker found what appeared to be marijuana and a powder substance in her bag, and attempted to detain her while waiting for backup officers,\" MNPD's Don Aaron told CNN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Baker attempt to put handcuffs on Holbert. However, she immediately begins to resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No ... Don't put me in handcuffs,\" Holbert insists. \"I haven't done anything wrong.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holbert Flees, Opens Fire<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, Holbert grabs her bag off the back of the car and runs around to the driver's side door. The entire time she cries for help and claims she didn't do anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baker warns her he is about to Tase her. But Holbert jumps into the driver's seat, seemingly ready to run for it. So Baker hits her with the Taser. But Baker swats at least one of the prongs away, and instead of being immobilized, she manages to reach for a gun. Footage then shows the sudden, brief gunfight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat happened today is a reminder that being a police officer anywhere can be a dangerous job. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Baker and with the families of everyone involved,\" Mayor John Cooper said in a statement, reported Tennessean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullet struck Baker in his torso, below his bulletproof vest, reported CNN. He remains in stable condition at a local hospital following surgery. Meanwhile, Holbert threw her gun to the ground and attempted to drive away following the shootout. However, he wounds proved fatal, and she ran the car off the road about a block away, reported CNN. Hospital officials later pronounced her dead from her injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is a reminder of the dangers officers face every day on the job. It's also a reminder of why officers should approach each situation with caution.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Nashville Officer Shot in Torso, Ultimately Wins Shootout","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:34","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/15\/nika-nicole-holbert-nashville-gunfight\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":3},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

An LAPD SWAT Officer narrowly escaped death recently during an intense armed standoff near the USC campus. A ballistic vest and quick reaction by fellow officers likely saved the officer's life during a shootout that claimed the life of the armed suspect, later identified as Jorge Cerda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

LAPD SWAT Takes on Jorge Cerda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a man firing a rifle into the air in a backyard. Police then found the 36-year old Cerda armed with a rifle, reported mynewsla.com<\/a>. Police responded by firing tear gas into the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> then shows an LAPD SWAT Officer first take a round in his chest, which his vest blocked. However, moments later, a round strikes the officer in the neck while in a covering position at the corner of the building. He immediately falls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rodney's down!,\" his partner radios. \"Officer's down! Officer's down! Rodney's down!\" The officer immediately begins dragging his partner away to safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once safely out of the line of fire, the partner continues radioing for aid. Then footage cuts elsewhere to another officer. From an elevated position, the SWAT officer places five well-aimed shots into Cerda. The shots come in rapid succession, putting Cerda down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This officer impressively acts instinctively. Remember, he's just found out one of his partners has been wounded by rifle fire. Then he immediately sees the same suspect, armed with a rifle. But the officer quickly puts rounds into the threat. He then makes it very clear, telling the suspect not to move or he will be shot again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect eventually died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds, reported KTLA 5<\/a>. Meanwhile, officials transported the wounded officer to a local hospital for treatment. He was \"obviously shaken\" but \"grateful to be alive,\" according to KTLA 5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident shows just how dangerous the job of policing continues to be. It also showcases how highly trained operators watch out for each other, completing the mission under the most difficult of circumstances. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: LAPD Swat Officer Shot in Neck During Armed Standoff","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jorge-cerda-lapd-swat","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:26","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:26","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/30\/jorge-cerda-lapd-swat\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124836,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-23 15:23:09","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-23 19:23:09","post_content":"\n

A New Orleans Police officer faces scrutiny after body cam<\/a> footage shows a questionable shooting. Officer Isaiah Shannon shot 29-year-old Anthony Cowart March 10. And after a review of officer body cam footage, the suspect went free, and now Shannon faces an investigation into his use of force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOLA Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage immediately proves problematic, showing Shannon initially approach the passenger side of a white Jaguar with his gun drawn. He holds his sidearm behind his back as he makes contact through the passenger window. After a brief conversation, officers ask the two men inside the car if they've been smoking marijuana. Soon after, Shannon asks Cowart to exit the vehcile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once out of the vehicle, Cowart quickly begins to arrest. A struggle ensues, and Cowart seemingly sees the officer's pistol. He appears to even hit the sidearm, with reports stating the magazine ejects during the struggle. Then off camera, Shannon's pistol fires, the bullet allegedly striking Cowart in the leg. Police failed to say whether Shannon purposely fired or if it was a negligent discharge. An audible \"f*ck\" on camera just after firing doesn't paint the best picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Shannon allegedly shot at an unarmed suspect in 2013, reported nola.com. Police cited private security footage to back their claim. And the police department dismissed the officer in 2014 over those same actions. But Shannon won an appeal in 2017, gaining reinstatement with NOPD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, officers found and confiscated crack, marijuana and possibly heroin during the incident, reported nola.com, but a judge still released Cowart. That suggests Shannon faces yet even more questions regarding his police work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless, NOPD stated it would conduct a full investigation into Shannon's actions. From the drawn pistol behind the back to fighting with his sidearm drawn, the officer potentially committed several violations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There's administrative violations you can see that we are concerned with,\" NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson told nola.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More troubling, the incident makes up only the latest in Shannon's alleged inappropriate behavior. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: NOPD Officer Isaiah Shannon Under Fire After Shooting Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/23\/nopd-officer-isaiah-shannon-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124840,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-22 14:19:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-22 18:19:40","post_content":"\n

You can hear Freeman threaten Yao multiple times before eventually running outside. At one point Yao calls over the radio, \"He is naked and threatening my life.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"All of the other evidence gathered from the investigation supports the conclusion that Officer Yao did reasonably believe that he faced the imminent use of deadly physical force from Mr. Freeman at the time that the officer fired his pistol,\" said Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinkley, reported WMUR 9<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forced Actions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While Yao attempted to talk him down, Freeman suddenly burst out of the home. Naked and covered in blood, he charged Yao. The officer fires two rounds, then Freeman collapses to the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officer Yao believed that when Mr. Freeman, who he heard had threatened his life, ultimately reached him, he would attempt to take his gun and shoot him,\" Hinckley said, reported WMUR 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting tragically illustrates just how tough law enforcement jobs can be. The footage paints a picture of an officer that tried all day to help a seemingly disturbed man. But in the end, the suspect came after him anyway. In an instant, Freeman forced Yao's hand into making a split-second life-or-death decision. And on this day, it cost the suspect his life. And an officer will have to spend the rest of his life living with those choices. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Naked & Covered in Blood, Man Charges Officer, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ethan-freeman-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-11-07 16:27:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-11-07 21:27:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/03\/17\/ethan-freeman-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124878,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-03-15 14:43:35","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-15 18:43:35","post_content":"\n
