Woman holding gun to the head of 3-year-old child inside apartment gets swiftly killed by responding officers - San Bernardino, California, USA (2023.12.10)
A woman who authorities say was pointing a gun at a 3-year-old child was shot and killed by police officers in an incident that has left investigators in San Bernardino confounded.
Around 8 a.m. Sunday, SBPD officers responded to an apartment after someone called 911 to report the armed woman.
The caller said the woman was inside an apartment and was holding a gun to the head of the caller's 3-year-old grandson. The woman was not related to the child, officials said, and the caller said she had already fired off the gun at least once.
When police arrived on the scene they found the woman, whom they described as "very distraught," standing on a balcony and pointing a gun at the caller. She also pointed the weapon at an officer, police said.
The woman then retreated into the apartment where the child was still inside and locked the door.
Officers kicked the door down, where they found the woman standing on a bed inside the living room, pointing a gun at the child who was below her and crying.
At least one officer fired at the woman, striking her, but she continued to hold the gun, police said. Officers ordered her to drop the weapon, but she allegedly refused and instead pointed the gun at the child once more.
That's when police opened fire again, striking the woman another time, this time fatally.
Officers removed the child from the apartment and began first aid on the suspect, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
She's been identified as Darvet Brown, a 35-year-old resident of San Bernardino. Brown had no relation to the child and police say her "behavior is not fully understood at this time."

Lawsuit filed after cops shoot woman armed with pair of knives running at them during parole check - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA (2025.01.08 )
The Fort Wayne Police Department (FWPD) has released edited body camera footage of a January standoff where officers shot and killed a 66-year-old Fort Wayne woman.
The department says officers were called to Parkview Studios on Harris Road on January 8 to help Indiana State Parole officers with a barricaded subject. Police say the woman, later identified as Patricia Hepworth, had a felony parole violation warrant and was armed with a knife inside the apartment.
After police say they attempted to contact her and de-escalate, FWPD says Officer Michael Carrier and Officer Spencer Munger fired shots, striking and killing Hepworth.
Following an investigation, during which the officers involved were placed on administrative leave, the Allen County Prosecutor's Office found that there was "no evidence of criminal liability" in the shooting.
21Investigates first requested the body camera footage in the shooting on Jan. 17, but was denied pending the ongoing investigation. After the investigation was done, we made a second request on Aug. 28.
The footage was then released to the public and the media on Friday. You can view it above.
Hepworth's son filed a wrongful death lawsuit in July against the City of Fort Wayne and Officers Carrier, Begals, and Munger.
The lawsuit states that FWPD's actions were "reckless, willful, and deliberately indifferent" to her rights.
The lawsuit also alleges the following:
Hepworth was having a mental health crisis at the time officers were called to the apartment. She was armed with a knife inside her bathroom and was bleeding from her wrist
Despite FWPD's claims that Hepworth had barricaded herself, her door was open
Officers then threw a flashbang in her room, causing Hepworth to stagger out of the apartment, rubbing her eyes while holding the knife
Officer Michael Carrier then shot Hepworth three times in the chest using an assault rifle at close range
Officers did not direct her to stop or drop the knife, issuing no warnings until after she was shot, and provided no life-saving measures afterwards
Officer Carrier had a "meaningful opportunity to detain Ms. Hepworth without the use of deadly force"
Attorneys representing the defendants in the lawsuit denied any wrongdoing in their response.
They said officers could not confirm or deny that Hepworth was having a mental health crisis, but did deny several other claims in the lawsuit, including that she was shot three times at close range, that officers did not issue warnings before shooting, and that officers provided no life-saving measures.
The body camera video shows that Hepworth exited the room immediately after the flashbang was used, holding two kitchen knives up near her chest.
At least one officer is heard saying, "Come out with your hands up", as several shots were fired, the footage shows.
Text edited onto FWPD's video states medics were staged outside and were immediately requested to respond. The edited video does not show the medics' response.
21Alive News sent in a formal request for a copy of the unedited body camera footage on Friday.
Court records show Hepworth was sentenced to 50 years in prison after being convicted of murder and arson in an incident in 1999 in Lake County. Her earliest possible release date was January of 2023, and she was to be released to the Fort Wayne Parole District, according to the Indiana Department of Correction.

Cops kill transgender teen that called 911 threatening to shoot up gas station (at 6:28 ) - Aurora, Colorado, USA (2025.09.18 )
Police Chief Todd Chamberlain last week disclosed new details about the 17-year-old boy shot by an Aurora police officer last month, saying the boy was transgender whose "whole life was tragic."
The chief was speaking publicly during a Oct. 22 town hall held by Councilmember Steve Sundberg.
In a previous press conference, Chamberlain said Blaze Aleczander Balle-Mason called 911, claiming he planned to "shoot up" a Conoco gas station at 290 S. Havana St. and open fire on responding officers.
Chamberlain also said that Balle-Mason was living in a halfway house at the time of the shooting.
"That 17-year-old boy, which is, again, it's tragic," Chamberlain said during the town hall held at the Aurora Central Recreation Center. "I think his whole life was tragic, to be honest with you. He was not in his home. He was living in a facility. He was actually taken out of his home. He was going through sexual confusion. He was transitioning. There were all kinds of dynamics that are incredibly troubling."
Chamberlain did not offer details on assertions that Balle-Mason was transgender or how that was linked to the fatal shooting. Recent trends on social media have linked transgender people to acts of violence. Advocates for transgender people point out that there is no evidence for those statements, and that claims are false and misleading.
Recently adding to a trend of linking transgender people to acts of violence was the shooter who killed Charlie Kirk, who was connected to a trans person. This week, a transgender high school student in Indiana was accused of plotting a "Valentine's Day mass shooting," pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit murder.
According to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), there were 5,748 mass shootings between Jan. 1, 2013, and Sept. 15, 2025, in the U.S. Of that number, there have been five confirmed transgender shooters.
None of the details about Balle-Mason was previously released to the public or the press, and it is unclear why Chamberlain chose to disclose it at the local town hall. As of Wednesday, police did not respond to questions about the statements.
Steven Haden, a psychiatric social worker and founder of Envision: You, a statewide mental health initiative supporting LGBTQ Coloradans, told the Sentinel that outing someone for their gender identity or their sexual orientation is a "violation of privacy, and it creates a very serious safety threat for those who are encountering police."
"It is incredibly dehumanizing," Haden said. "It continues to erode trust between LGBTQ individuals and law enforcement, which is not good for anyone, and the speculation around a person's identity who's now dead was immaterial to the situation itself."
If the person were alive, it could lead to job or housing loss, and it could be the first time the person's family learns the information, Haden said. In this situation, when the person is dead, it seems irrelevant to the public's need to know.
"It sounds like the system failed this person," said Addison Herron-Wheeler, co-publisher and editor-in-chief at OUT FRONT, based in Denver.
Whether Chamberlain was implying that Balle-Mason was taken from their home because they were violent, or whether the Balle-Mason was removed from their home because of family members mistreating them, was not clarified by Chamberlain. Herron-Wheeler said, either way, the system failed Balle-Mason. The boy needed some kind of intervention and support, she said, but there was no intervention to prevent him from deciding to go to the gas station that night, and the police failed Balle-Mason in how they handled the call.
Referring to Balle-Mason's life as "tragic" while only giving limited information without context to what that meant was also misleading, Herron-Wheeler said. People who are transitioning are not tragic, and saying that without more information is harmful.
Also, Herron-Wheeler, Haden, and Barbara Simon, the senior director of news and campaigns for GLAAD, an LGBTQ media advocacy organization, all said that transitioning is not scientifically or medically considered "sexual confusion," but rather gender identity. It was unclear why Chamberlain offered those details, or why he even mentioned the "sexual frustration" at all.
Chamberlain made the comments while answering a resident's question about how and when the city's Crisis Response Team, referred to as a CRT, is deployed to 911 calls. He said CRT was en route to the call involving Balle-Mason, but the situation escalated before they arrived.
"It's more of a social issue, or a social behavior or a mental health issue, that's when they respond, they can co-respond," Chamberlains said.
He said that Balle-Mason did not give the police department enough time for the CRT to get there. If Balle-Mason said, "I want to talk," the police would have worked with him, Chamberlain said. Instead, Balle-Mason ran toward the officers with his hands in his pockets, giving them little time to respond, and forced them to take measures to protect themselves and the public around the gas station, Chamberlain said.
Aurora police employees contacted the Sentinel and agreed to speak anonymously because they were unauthorized to publicly discuss the topic. They said the incident was likely a "suicide by cop" incident. The term refers to a well-researched law-enforcement phenomenon where a person intentionally provokes officers into using lethal force. Subjects typically call police to announce their intentions, threaten to kill officers and often are found without weapons.
Aurora police said Balle-Mason was found to be unarmed after the shooting.
When Aurora police arrived at the gas station scene, officers first used a 40-millimeter less-lethal launcher, which fires "rubber" or "foam" projectiles," in an effort to defuse the encounter. Officers are trained to recognize and respond appropriately, Chamberlain said during a previous press conference, but he added that this incident was unique and must be evaluated based on the facts known at the time, not in hindsight.
He also said in the previous press conference that Aurora's crisis response units and clinicians are designed to respond to non-violent situations, such as when someone is despondent, suicidal or refusing to eat or sleep.
During the town hall, Chamberlain said that all active shooter situations involve suicidal ideation.
"Almost all of those individuals who are involved in active shooters or schoolyard violence," Chamberlain said. "It is a process of suicide ideation, where they say that they are going to be killed at the end of an event. They have no plans of surrender. If you look at the ones that have occurred recently, most of them have been killed either by self-infliction or they've been killed by police."
There is no perfect solution, and officers may have no choice but to use lethal force for public safety, he said.
The FBI recommends distinct training for suicide by cop and in active shooter situations, even though the shooter is usually also suicidal. The FBI said that clues of when someone is a suicide by cop suspect include having no demands, presenting no terms, advancing on police and reaching for or raising a weapon or imitation weapon. Tactics to defuse the situation include overtly showing compassion and offering help.
"If a weapon had been drawn," Haden said, "law enforcement needs to address that threat immediately and take whatever actions necessary to protect themselves and the safety of people in the area. That's just a very different approach, and this was not an active shooter. This is not a person who has shown a weapon to anyone. And so it's just very different."
The security camera footage of Balle-Mason showed the boy wearing socks but no shoes, sitting at the gas station and appearing to be waiting for officers to arrive, as dispatchers mentioned to the officer in the body camera footage when the officers arrived at the scene.
Researchers agree that it is rare for an active shooter to call the police in advance and to threaten to kill officers. At the same time, one of the possible red flags cited by the Police Executive Research Forum for a suspected suicide by cop incident is a subject calling the police to threaten them.
In a "Suicide by Cop: Protocol and Training Guide" created by Police Executive Research Forum in 2019, researchers state that there are two kinds of "suicide by cop," spontaneous and planned. The training said that a suicidal person might point a firearm at or even run at officers. It also says that a way to recognize whether a person is suicidal includes the subject behaving aggressively toward the police for no apparent reason.
"In the Los Angeles study of 419 Suicide by Cop incidents, 4% of the subjects had a firearm. Another 4% had a replica or fake weapon, and 5% had their hands in their pockets or otherwise appeared to possibly have a weapon. 16% of the subjects were armed with a knife," the PERF study said.
The training also said the defining characteristics of "suicide by cop" incidents are that the subject will threaten the life of the officer or another person, or they will attempt to make the officer believe they pose such a threat, to give the officer no choice but to use lethal force to stop the threat.
"Each year from 2015 to 2018, there were approximately 900 to 1,000 fatal officer-involved shootings in the United States," PERF Suicide by Cop training said. "By various estimates, approximately 10% to 29% or more of officer-involved shootings involve Suicide by Cop incidents. Thus, it is reasonable to believe that there may be 100 or more fatal SbC incidents each year."
PERF researchers recommend against "bark orders" because they can "heighten anxiety" and reduce compliance. Instead, PERF recommends making small, pointed requests to build trust and reduce panic. The officers in the incident demanded that Balle-Mason come to them with his arms up, rather than addressing him calmly.
Chamberlain said that Balle-Mason refused to comply with police during the intervention, which "has to be in conjunction with the suspect willing to have that intervention component."
"All this individual would have had to do to stop was listen to the officers for one second and show his hands," Chamberlain said. "If they had been able to have anything longer than 15 seconds, I guarantee you that dialogue would have changed."
PERF recommends that officers say they are "here to help" and that pointing firearms gives a nonverbal message that dominates the interaction. They recommend maintaining distance, using cover, and keeping guns lowered unless a confirmed weapon is visible, which allows for calmer communication, according to 2019 data and research from a variety of sources cited.
"None of these officers want to get involved in those situations, but that's what they do," Chamberlain said during the press conference. "That's what their role is. That's what they're here for. They're here to serve, and they are using every tool, every opportunity, everything that they are trained to do, to do the best job that they possibly can in some incredibly, incredibly complex situations."

Suspect in deadly carjacking gets in shootout with the cops following pursuit and loses, dying on the pavement, filmed from helicopter, dashcam, and bodycam - Laguna Hills, California, USA (2025.09.20)
A man suspected of a deadly carjacking in San Diego County was killed Saturday morning following a pursuit and shootout with police in Laguna Hills.
Officers responded Friday around 9:53 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 2300 block of Rising Glen Way, according to the Carlsbad Police Department.
When officers arrived, they located a woman with gunshot wounds. The woman succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene, Carlsbad police said.
The woman's vehicle had been stolen during the shooting and was later spotted in Orange County. Newport Beach police used license plate reader technology to identify the vehicle, and a pursuit ensued, according to Carlsbad police.
The driver exited the 5 Freeway on El Toro Road and, after a brief pursuit on surface streets, got out of the vehicle near an In-N-Out Burger parking lot.
"The suspect exited his vehicle near El Toro Road and Carlota and fired a gun at officers. Officers from the Newport Beach Police Department and an officer from the Irvine Police Department returned fire," wrote the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) in a statement to NBC4.
The man was struck by the officer's gunfire. He was taken to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, according to OCSD.

Suspect armed with an axe pulls out a firearm against the officers, receiving multiple bullets - Seattle, Washington, USA (2025.10.30)
Newly released body camera video shows the moments that led up to Seattle police fatally shooting an armed suspect in the SODO neighborhood last week.
"The King County Sheriff's Office Independent Investigations Team has authorized the Seattle Police Department to release the following video that provides a brief overview of what occurred," wrote Seattle police on its blotter page.
Police said the incident occurred on Oct. 30 at the intersection of 4th Ave S and S. Holgate Street. Right before the shooting, officers encountered the man, who they said had an edged weapon. Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes confirmed that non-lethal force was used, but was not effective.
"I can confirm that shots were fired, from the officers, prior to that officers deployed what we call a 40-millimeter non-lethal impact weapon." explained Barnes, who said that three officers in total were involved in the incident.
A launcher-type weapon, with a shell resembling that of a larger piece of ammunition like a 40mm round, could be seen laying in the center of S. Holgate Street, undisturbed by investigators.
All involved officers were uninjured.
The shooting was the first critical officer-involved incident since the end of the Consent Decree, Barnes said.
Since the end of the decree in early-September, the King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) said they have a memorandum of understanding to assess critical incidents that involve SPD.
Seattle police policy requires the department to release video that "provides a general overview of what occurred" within 72 hours of an officer-involved shooting.
"Under state law, the release of information relating to the 10/30 officer-involved shooting investigation is being managed by the King County Sheriff's Office, which is serving as an Independent Investigative Team (IIT) for SPD," the department wrote in a blotter post.
"Based on the Seattle Police Department's exit from the Federal Consent Decree in September 2025, the Seattle Police Department must now adhere to Washington state law for any use of deadly force by an officer," the police blotter post states.
When Seattle police were under the consent decree, investigations of use of deadly force were handled by the department, as allowed by Washington state law. Now that the consent decree has been lifted, the agency has to bring an independent agency to investigate uses of deadly force.
The city of Seattle has contracted with the King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) to act as the independent agency to investigate deadly force incidents. State law requires the independent agency to handle the release of information about uses of deadly force by police.

2 dead after wrong way driver crashes into car on the highway, and then another wrong way driver crashes into them to make sure they're dead - Pompano Beach, Florida, USA (2025.11.02)
Two people are dead and two were hospitalized with serious injuries after back-to-back wrong-way crashes on Florida's Turnpike in Miami-Dade County early Sunday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
According to FHP, the first crash happened on the northbound lanes of the Turnpike near Bird Road around 4 a.m., where a blue Honda that was driving south in the northbound lanes collided head-on with a silver Toyota.
Both vehicles became disabled and were blocking the roadway, which led to the second crash when an oncoming white Toyota — that was also driving south in the northbound lanes — collided into the two disabled vehicles along with a responding FHP vehicle, the agency said.
Video shared by the social media page ONLYinDADE showed the moments right before the second crash.
The Honda driver and the silver Toyota driver from the initial crash died at the scene, FHP said. Meanwhile, the two occupants in the other Toyota were airlifted to Kendall HCA with serious injuries. FHP said the trooper on scene was outside of their vehicle at the time of the second crash and was not injured during the incident.
All northbound lanes were shut down, and traffic was diverted onto Bird Road as troopers worked the scene.
FHP said it's not going to identify the people involved in either crash due to an ongoing investigation. However, one of the victims' family members identified 23-year-old Gustavo Adolfo Palma Romero as the man struck by one of the wrong-way drivers. His family said he dreamed of "building a better family" and was days away from his 24th birthday.
The FHP said it is currently unclear whether the two wrong-way drivers knew each other or were connected.
Authorities also do not know where the drivers entered the turnpike.

CJNG cartel splinter group records their ambush on Mexican police, killing three of them - Huixcolotla, Mexico (2025.11.02)
An armed group, identified as alleged members of "La Operativa Barredora," recorded themselves opening fire on police officers in Puebla.
In a video shared on social media on November 4, the armed attack is visible, along with an image displaying the letters "CJNG," alluding to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
The security agents were attacked in the municipality of Huixcolotla. The footage shows armed men emerging from vehicles to carry out the attack against the officers.
The attack, which occurred in the early morning of November 3, resulted in the deaths of officers Yusami Monterrosas Apolinar, Roberto Pérez Trinidad, and Arturo Jiménez Ortigosa.
Meanwhile, news reports indicate that the vehicles seen in the recording are similar to those used during the attack on the officers.
In response to the violence, Manuel Alejandro Porras Florentino, the mayor of Huixcolotla, published a video in which he lamented the homicides and asserted that they had not requested assistance or intervention from other authorities.
"Security and personnel had not been requested, as some media outlets have reported, because there was social stability," the official commented.
Following the armed assault, the Puebla Secretariat of Security and the Army assumed control of the municipality, as several local officers resigned after the attack. The assailants fled the scene in their trucks, heading towards Cuapiaxtla de Madero, and there have been no reports of their arrest to date.
Elements from the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) recovered the bodies and began collecting ballistics evidence at the scene.
Separately, activities linked to the CJNG have been detected in the state, which is governed by Alejandro Armenta Mier. On October 27, a man identified as Nazario R. R. was formally charged for his alleged responsibility in drug trafficking offenses (specifically, possession with intent to distribute).
Intelligence information indicates that this man is linked to the CJNG and apparently operated in two states: Jalisco and Puebla. Additionally, the subject served as the secretary of the Transporters' Front of the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM) and was arrested along with other individuals.

Officer shoots and kills man holding 7 year old kid hostage at point-blank range with a single headshot - Brandon, Florida (2025.11.02)
A peaceful Sunday turned into a scary one for neighbors living on Alpine Drive in Brandon.
Neighbors tell Tampa Bay 28 that they were "a little scared and surprised" to hear about what happened.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO), a sheriff's deputy shot and killed a suspect, Sunday after responding to a domestic violence call and rescuing a seven-year-old child from harm.
Deputies were dispatched to the 100 block of Alpine Drive at 2:04 p.m. for a report of domestic violence in progress. The caller reported that the suspect was armed with a knife and choking their younger brother.
Authorities said the suspect was 27-year-old Mario Camacho, and his 18-year-old sister had made a frantic 9-1-1.
They said Camacho had cut her on the mouth with the knife and then took his little brother hostage.
"Her brother, took her younger brother, who is 7 years old, and took him in a back bedroom with the knife and was holding him against his will, for a lack of a better term, he was hostage in his own house," said Joseph Maurer, a Chief Deputy with Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office.
When deputies arrived, Camacho barricaded himself in a back bedroom. Authorities said the child could be heard screaming for help, prompting deputies to kick down the door.
"He screamed through the door, 'Break the door down,' and that's exactly what our deputy did," said Maurer.
Authorities said inside, deputies found Camacho holding the knife and refusing to release the child from a choke hold.
After refusing the deputy's commands, one deputy fired at Camacho, saving the seven-year-old boy. Camacho was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"Heroic by the deputies, but in the grand scheme of things tragic for that family right now," said Maurer.
Neighbors said it's usually a quiet area, they rarely see police.
In Spanish, one family said, "We pass by every day, and we've never heard anyone fighting or arguing."
Maurer said they had no other choice – less lethal wasn't option in this case.
"He was wearing a motorcycle helmet, and he was also wearing two ballistic vests with armored plates," said Maurer. "The only shot he could take was the shot he had to take to stop that threat from harming that boy."
Mental illness and domestic violence are the issues the sheriff's office said they are working to tackle.
"These are the monsters in our community," said Maurer. "And we can't attack those properly without the help of each and every community member here."
Per protocol, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will take over the investigation, and the deputy involved in the shooting will be on administrative leave.

Cop gets shot and killed with his own weapon during traffic stop gone wrong, suspect kills himself after - Miami, Florida, USA (2025.11.07)
A Florida sheriff's deputy was fatally shot with his own weapon while responding to a vehicle crash on Friday, according to police.
Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Deputy Devin Jaramillo, 27, was shot Friday afternoon on the 12200 block of Southwest 128th Street after he responded to a traffic crash and was attacked by a suspect who got ahold of Jaramillo's service weapon.
The attack was "not an ambush," Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said Saturday.
She said Jaramillo responded to the "minor" traffic incident and got into a verbal dispute with a man who was involved, which escalated into a physical altercation.
"[The suspect] fought with our deputy and during that fight he disarmed our deputy of his own service weapon and used it to shoot him multiple times," Cordero-Stutz said.
Jaramillo was transported to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, the sheriff's office said.
After shooting the deputy, the man entered his own vehicle and took his own life, Cordero-Stutz said. He was identified as 21-year-old Steven David Rustrian.
The sheriff said there was a second subject involved in the traffic crash who was detained but has since been released and will not face any charges.
Cordero-Stutz remembered Jaramillo as a "home-grown hero" and football player, who graduated magna cum laude from the University of Central Florida and went on to dedicate his life to public service.
He was a deputy with the Kendall District.
"This is a devastating day for our MDSO family and the entire Miami-Dade community. Deputy Jaramillo served with honor, courage, and compassion. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. His bravery and service will never be forgotten," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
The sheriff's office homicide bureau will investigate the shooting.
Tributes from Florida leaders poured in over the weekend. Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote on X: "First Lady @CaseyDeSantisand I are heartbroken over the tragic killing of Deputy Jaramillo in Miami-Dade County. Please know that those responsible for his murder will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law."
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said she's "praying" for Jaramillo's family.
"Our entire community stands with this brave officer, his family and fellow deputies, and all our men and women in uniform who put themselves at risk to protect our community," she wrote on X.
