The Columbia Missouri Police Department sadly announced the death of retired K-9 Gorrit, an 11-year-old Dutch Shepherd who dedicated nearly 7 years of service to the CPD alongside his partner, Sgt. Jamie Dowler. From 2015 to January of this year, Gorrit worked tirelessly, forming an unbreakable bond with Dowler that went far beyond police work. After his retirement, Gorrit spent his well-deserved retirement with Dowler and his family, surrounded by love and care.

Prayers for his partner, their family and the agency.🙏🏻

Any journalist or Democrat that is trying to argue that there isn’t a crime problem in Washington, DC is just ignoring the truth for partisan aims.

'ATTACK' ON CORRECTIONS OFFICERS:

Four correctional officers were hurt after a man incarcerated at Minnesota's Rush City Correctional Facility allegedly stabbed one of them with a shank (a sharp, homemade weapon). Three others were bruised during subsequent efforts to subdue and restrain the man, according to the MN Department of Corrections.

On Sunday, August 10, 2025, at approximately 2:40 a.m., Laredo Police officers responded to a residence in the 1400 block of Los Estribos Drive regarding a report of an individual with a gunshot injury.

Upon arrival, officers located a victim, identified as an off-duty Laredo Police Officer, with a critical injury, who was transported to a local hospital and later transferred to a San Antonio facility for advanced medical care.

The Laredo Police Department's Criminal Investigations Bureau-CAPERS is conducting a thorough investigation. Preliminary findings indicate the injury was self-inflicted.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured officer and their loved ones during this difficult time. We remain committed to providing support to those affected.

This remains an active and ongoing investigation.

End of Press Release.

Sources indicate at least one other person was present when the incident occurred. He has made a statement on this matter. LPD has not released the name of the officer(s).

Our prayers go out to her and her family.🙏🏻

Sec. Def: "Whatever's needed, the DoD will provide to make sure this is a safe city for those who live here, for those that work here, and the Americans who want to come visit here and love our capital."

This is a terrifying situation for the 13-year-old and his parents. So glad he was able to run away and call for help.

Santa Rosa Police Investigating Murder-Suicide Involving Sheriff's Office Personnel

The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office family is grieving an unimaginable loss. Two members of our department died in a heartbreaking incident on August 10, 2025, when an off-duty deputy fatally shot his former partner, Detention Specialist Mari Bonnici, before taking his own life.

Deputy Jeremy Lyle, who was hired in March 2015 and had been serving as a resident deputy in Timber Cove since October 2019, was involved in a standoff with law enforcement following the shooting. The standoff ended when Deputy Lyle died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, witnessed by deputies and officers from the Santa Rosa Police Department at the scene.

This tragic event is particularly shocking because it involves a law enforcement officer. We recognize the profound shock and concern that this incident brings to our community. Both the Sheriff's Office and the community place immense trust in those who are dedicated to serving and protecting. No level of training or experience can fully prepare us for such a tragedy.

We extend our deepest condolences to both families and loved ones. We are grieving alongside them and are working to support our Sheriff's Office family. We ask for privacy for Mari's family and members of the Sheriff's Office as we grieve and navigate this heartbreaking time.
