Long Beach, California, United States
A person was fatally shot by Long Beach police on Wednesday because he was allegedly brandishing a firearm.
It happened sometime at around 4:20 p.m., when officers were called to MacArthur Park, located at 14th Street and Gundry Avenue, after receiving reports that someone there was possibly in possession of a gun, according to a statement from LBPD.
Officers arrived and found a man that fit the description, and upon contact saw that he did allegedly have a gun.
They say that the man was brandishing a firearm and failed to comply with their demands to drop the weapon, which led them to open fire.
The suspect was taken to a nearby hospital by Long Beach Fire Department paramedics, where he later died.
On Thursday, he was identified as 46-year-old Los Angeles man Donald Washington by the Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner.
No one else was injured in the incident. Officers recovered a gun from the scene.

Kentwood, Michigan, United States
Police video shows an unmarked Michigan State Police SUV hit a man as he ran from officers in Kentwood last month, followed by Samuel Sterling crying out in pain and officers telling him to lie still and breathe while EMTs were on their way. Sterling, 25, of Grand Rapids, died hours after the crash.
Michigan State Police on Friday afternoon released about 15 minutes of video on YouTube, calling it a “representative sample” of what happened.
“There are multiple variations of these videos due to the number of officers on-scene, but the videos being released are the most relevant and comprehensive,” MSP said in a release. “Redactions have been made to conceal the identity of undercover officers and unaffiliated individuals.”
There are three body camera videos and one dashboard camera video. MSP said they came from a trooper, a Grand Rapids police officer and a Wyoming police officer. MSP said that the detective sergeant who was driving the SUV was not wearing a body camera because he was assigned to a federal task force and the unmarked car did not have a dashcam.
Parents Andrica Cage and Michael Sterling and their attorney were shown the video by state police Friday morning before it was released to the public. They argue police didn't respond quickly enough to their son's cries for help and that the trooper who hit him should face criminal charges.
“I hope they charge him with the most serious crime that they can, because this wasn't no accident,” Michael Sterling said.
Attorney Ven Johnson, who is representing the Sterling family, said the video showed the officers on the scene acting with “callous disregard for human life, let alone disrespect for (Samuel) Sterling.”
“What we saw today was … way too much sound and way too much for any parent's eyes to watch their son writhing and literally moving in such pain, and we now know it's because he was dying,” Johnson said.
Johnson said MSP Director Col. James Grady was there when the family was shown the video.
“Grady reiterated … he personally, after seeing the video on the day of this incident, suspended the trooper without pay. Highly, highly unusual. And it tells us a lot as to what MSP is thinking about the lack of propriety, in other words, the wrongful conduct of this trooper,” Johnson said.

(unused)Anchorage, Alaska, United States
April 1, 2019
A judge has thrown out a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of a Black man shot and killed by Anchorage police officers in 2019.
Three officers shot Bishar Hassan, a 31-year-old Somali American, when he walked toward them and pulled out a handgun, later determined to be a BB gun, according to a report by the Alaska Office of Special Prosecutions. The officers had responded to 911 calls about a man with a gun walking into traffic.
The report said Officers Nathan Lewis, Brett Eggiman and Matthew Hall were justified in their use of deadly force. But Hassan's family disputed the reports' findings and sued the officers and the city of Anchorage in 2021.
The family's lawyer, Rex Butler, said in a 2022 interview – shortly after he released video of the shooting – that the officers did not have a valid reason to have contacted Hassan, because Alaska does not have a law against carrying a gun. Butler also said the police dashcam video showed about two minutes had passed from when the officers shot Hassan to when anyone checked on him or attempted to render aid.
Hassan's shooting was the focus of a rally shortly after the video's release that was attended by more than 100 people.
On Monday, a U.S. District Court judge sided with the city and the officers. Judge Sharon Gleason threw out all 11 of the Hassan family's claims, citing video footage of the shooting.
“In sum, the responding officers' conduct was objectively reasonable because Mr. Hassan posed an immediate threat to the safety of the officers when he pulled his gun out of his waistband and pointed it at the officers,” Gleason wrote in her order tossing the claims.

Hudson, Florida, United States
Pasco Sheriff's Office released body cam footage of the deputy-involved shooting from this afternoon in Hudson.
According to detective, Just before 3:30 p.m., a passerby was flagged down by a woman in the area of Denton Ave. and Dane Ln. in Hudson. The woman, identified as Isabella North, 29, told the passerby she needed help and to call emergency services. After speaking with call takers, the passerby handed the phone to North and expressed to call takers that she “felt like she was going to kill someone.” North also informed the call taker that she was armed with a knife and that she felt violent.
Two PSO deputies arrived and attempted to talk with North, who did not respond to them. Instead, North quickly withdrew a 12-inch-long knife and assumed a fighting stance at deputies. Deputies continued to try to talk with her to de-escalate the situation, until North quickly move toward them with the knife still pointed at deputies. The two deputies then fired one shot each, striking North. This entire incident occurred within 30 seconds of deputies arriving on scene. North was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced deceased.
The deputy-involved shooting will be investigated by Florida Department of Law Enforcement, per a standing agreement. The deputies are on administrative leave per PSO's protocol.

Rio Linda, California, United States
March 23, 2024
Body camera footage released on Tuesday shows the moments that led to a Sacramento County deputy shooting and killing a man in Rio Linda earlier this year.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office released a narrated video that included dispatch calls and the body camera footage from the deputies who responded to reports of a man cutting himself with a knife at a home on March 23.
The Facebook video begins with a 911 call from the family of 38-year-old Christopher Gilmore, who told dispatchers he had cut himself in a bathtub, attempted self-harm in the past and suffered from schizophrenia.
Multiple deputies arrived at a residence on Campanile Street around 8:15 a.m., according to the sheriff's office.
The video shows them spending the majority of their time strategizing how to enter the home safely because they did not know exactly where he was and were told he was armed with a knife.
At the same time, the deputies were also talking with family members of Gilmore who had evacuated the home. They asked the family about his mental state and whether he had talked about wanting to die that day.
After nearly 20 minutes passed, the garage door opened unexpectedly and Gilmore was inside. In the video, the deputies can be heard commenting on Gimore's loss of blood and appearing to be incoherent.
Gilmore eventually began walking down the driveway with an object still in his hand as deputies tried to communicate with him. He mostly ignored them. His family was also trying to speak to him.
Deputies fired six non-lethal rounds at Gilmore and three rounds from a handgun. According to the sheriff's office, the knife Gilmore was holding was six inches long with a three-and-a-half-inch blade. Gilmore died at the scene, the sheriff's office said.
The deputy that shot him with lethal rounds has been with the sheriff's office since 2019, the sheriff's office said. He was put on administrative leave pending the investigation, in accordance with procedures.
The sheriff's office is still investigating the shooting but the family of Gimore has also launched their own investigation.
“He died right in front of me,” Bobbie Gilmore, Chris' sister told KCRA 3 in March. “They could have hit him with a Taser gun.”
The family released home surveillance video footage in April. They claimed then that Gilmore was holding a small disposable razor and not a knife. An attorney representing the family told KCRA 3 on Tuesday now admits Gilmore was holding a knife but upholds that he was not threatening anyone.

Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
The Knoxville Police Department body-camera footage from the April 27 police shooting of 25-year-old Jamauri Griffin shows the man firing a gun point-blank into the face of a woman inside her home.
Just before 7:50 a.m. April 27, officers Hunter Powers and Cayden Riddle arrived at the home on Santala Drive for a domestic disturbance call. A caller said a man had shown up at the house and was armed with a gun, a department spokesperson said.
Powers and Riddle entered the house, announcing they were police officers. Almost simultaneously, they see Griffin in front of them, holding a gun and standing close to the woman. As soon as they announced themselves, Griffin lifted his arm and fired point-blank at the woman's face.
The two officers fired multiple times in response, striking Griffin at least one time. The entire sequence from the time officers entered the home until Griffin was shot lasted less than 5 seconds.
The officers cleared away the man's gun and calmed the injured woman. Griffin was pronounced dead at the scene, while the woman was hospitalized at the University of Tennessee Medical Center for a gunshot wound to her face. Her injuries, police said, were not life-threatening.

IMPD has released a summary video of the officer-involved shooting earlier this month where an IMPD officer fatally shot a man following a traffic stop on the city's northeast side. 49-year-old Gary Dwayne Harrell died after being shot by IMPD Officer Douglas Correll, a 28-year-veteran of IMPD.
According to police, Harrell was stopped for reckless driving in the 3400 block of Parker Avenue at 9:40 a.m. on August 3. Prior to the release of the video, IMPD explained Harrell exited his vehicle and began speaking with the officer before the officer could approach his car. Harrell then jumped back into the driver's seat of his vehicle, disregarding the officer's verbal commands at the scene.
Police have not released information about what commands were given by the officer. While the officer was trying to speak with the Harrell, he jumped back out of the car with a gun in his hand and ran from the scene, police said. After a short foot chase, Correll provided more commands and eventually fired his weapon.
