Miami Beach, United States
December 5, 2015
A suspected bank robber, allegedly armed with a razor, was shot and killed outside a Miami Beach, Florida, barber shop, police said.
First a "hold up" was reported this morning at a Bank of America in Miami Beach, Miami Beach Police Department spokeswoman Kathleen Prieto said. A 911 caller said the suspect was armed with a bomb and passed a note to the teller, she said.
Responding police were told the suspect fled the bank and went into a barber shop, Prieto said.
Police arrived at the barber shop and saw the suspect inside, but the suspect at first refused to come out, she said.
The suspect then "emerged with a straight edge razor in his hand," Prieto said.
"Shots were fired and the subject is deceased," she said.

Original video (WARNING: 4K):
Fontana, California, United States
December 13, 2023
Four months after Fontana police fatally shot a man wanted for brandishing a gun, Chief Michael Dorsey on Thursday, April 4, publicly released visual and audio recordings and still images that show three officers chasing him apparently carrying a gun through a commercial area before firing upon him.
Dorsey had cited legally allowed exemptions to the open-records law out of concern that releasing the recordings and images would jeopardize an investigation.
Officer Steven Reed, a department spokesman, said in an interview on Thursday that the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, which is investigating the shooting, recently told Fontana police they could make the information public. The San Bernardino County District's Attorney's Office is also investigating.
The name of the man killed in the Dec. 13 shooting, Jose Pena Mejia, had been among the details withheld until Thursday. Fontana police had also declined to say whether the suspect had fired on officers and elaborate on their previous statement that officers fired when the “situation escalated.”
Mejia became a wanted man in November when police identified him as a suspect in a firearm brandishing at a market.
Around 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 13, an officer pulled over Mejia's blue pickup near Mango Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in Fontana, Dorsey says in a recording posted on the department's Facebook page, because of a broken tail light. The officer called for backup when he ran a records check and learned that Mejia was wanted.
A recording shows a gun that Dorsey says police found on the ground near Mejia after the shooting.
“Mejia set forth a series of events that forced Fontana police officers to protect both themselves and the community at large”, Dorsey says.
Dorsey adds that Mejia was a documented gang member with convictions for attempted murder, domestic violence and kidnapping.
Family members of Mejia accused the city of repeatedly refusing to release documents and recordings of the shooting to their attorneys, according to a lawsuit they filed in late January.

For anything involving police activity. While usually you will see silly criminals trying to get the drop on cops or pulling out knives and promptly losing their lives, This is also the place for when our brave men (and women) in blue fall in the line of duty.
