Police said 26-year-old Dakota Hawver entered the valet area of the GSR on the morning of July 28 just before 7:30 a.m. where he fired more than 80 rounds, killing three people and injuring two others.

As seen on the video released Tuesday afternoon, officers with RPD responded to the hotel-casino within two minutes and engaged Hawver within four minutes when an officer-involved shooting happened.

The Minneapolis Park Police Department says one of its officers was hospitalized following a violent encounter with a sexual assault suspect on Tuesday afternoon.

Park Police Chief Jason Ohotto said in a joint news conference with Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara that a 911 caller reported someone "inappropriately touching children" at about 1:15 p.m. at Mueller Park, located off West 25th Street and Colfax Avenue South in the Lowry Hill East neighborhood.

The officer tracked the suspect down to a nearby alley where the two began to fight. At one point, a round was discharged from the officer's holstered gun. It's unclear who pulled the trigger.

About two dozen police squads were called to the scene to help, according to the city's 911 dashboard, with the suspect eventually taken into custody by Minneapolis police officers.

O'Hara commended the 911 caller and the officer involved, saying the officer suffered a minor arm injury.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for his recovery.🙏🏻

Prayers for the Yakima Police officer who was shot in the line of duty Saturday night.🙏🏻

Washington State: Fourteen Yakima Police Department officers, detectives and command staff were part of a fatal shooting in downtown Yakima on Saturday night that followed a domestic violence-related homicide earlier the day, a YPD news release said.

When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver sped off and went south on South Third Street, where YPD Chief Shawn Boyle performed a “PIT maneuver” to stop it at the intersection of South Third and East Chestnut streets.

The driver, Ismael Sanchez Morales, 33, then went toward several YPD vehicles head-on until he was stopped, according to a probable cause affidavit filed by the Washington State Patrol, which is investigating the case as part of the Yakima Valley Special Investigations Unit.

Morales, the affidavit said, refused to get out of the vehicle at first, but climbed out the driver’s window and a YPD police dog was used to detain him. He then put the dog in a chokehold, the affidavit said.

While the dog was restraining Morales, the affidavit said, Leyva-Sanchez fired at officers, who returned fire and killed him.

A YPD officer was taken to Memorial with a non-life-threatening injury to an extremity, police said.
