Authorities haven’t described Decoursey’s motive for shooting the officer, but Hopkinsville Police Chief Clayton said DeCoursey had a prior arrest record, was known to police, and that while he wasn’t positive the two men knew each other personally, “considering they’re both from here, it’s very likely.” Kentucky State Police said Decoursey fatally shot 38-year-old Hopkinsville officer Phillip Meacham Thursday afternoon, then fled on foot and drove away in a pickup truck.

California had a bizarre incident wednesday. “An early Thursday morning report from Sonoma Police Chief Bret Sackett said that at about 9:50 p.m. Wednesday deputies from the Sonoma Police Department and the Sheriff’s Sonoma Valley substation were dispatched to a suspicious person in a mobile home park on Ramon Street in the city of Sonoma. Several park residents called to report a male subject was yelling, breaking glass and slamming into things, Sackett said. While deputies were en route, Sackett said other callers reported the subject was naked and punching out decorative street lamps with his bare hands. The deputies located the subject in the street near the entrance to the park. Sackett said the man was large, naked, noncompliant and moving towards them. Sacket said the deputies deployed their Tasers and struggled to handcuff him. The subject continued to resist and was placed into maximum restraints in order for the deputies to gain control of him. The man went into medical distress, so the deputies immediately summoned emergency medical personnel. Sackett said the deputies removed the maximum restraints and began life-saving measures until the medics arrived. The subject was transported to the Sonoma Valley Hospital where he later died.” (304)
Alaska had two police killings last saturday. “The incident began at about 6:30 p.m. at the Home Depot store near the Northway Mall, according to APD spokesperson Renee Oistad.

An officer saw the suspect in the parking lot of a Burger King restaurant south of the mall. “The suspect ignored the officer’s commands and continued to run toward the Penland Parkway trailer park,” Oistad wrote. “The officer gave chase on foot. After entering the trailer park, the suspect turned around with knife in hand and ran straight towards the officer. The officer fired; the suspect was declared deceased at the scene.” Aubri Bolynn “My friend saw it happen, he never charged the cop, the cop shot him in the back and another person I don’t know saw it and said the same thing that the cop shot the kid in the back 6 times” (289)

Alaska State Troopers responded to an address on Nikolaevsk Road to contact Yakunin at approximately 1907 hours. While on scene at the residence where Yakunin was located, Yakunin attacked the first responding State Trooper, injuring him and incapacitating him where the Trooper was unable to adequately defend himself.

“Peggy Purves … told Channel 3 that she was outside walking her dog when a man she described as in his late 20s pulled his car up next to her. She said that he looked confused and mistook her for someone else. “He says are you Jodie? And I said no I’m not Jodie. So I was worried about that so I watched him and then he went down the road and he did a U-turn and he came racing back so that’s when I knew something was wrong,” said Purves. … she ran inside and called 9-1-1. “I was in the hallway talking to 911 and I said you get here soon. He is going to gain access to this house. He is going to come in. I said someone needs to come here immediately,” … Purves said that the individual then broke through her window on the side of her home. “He had glass all over him and blood all over him, he didn’t care,” said Purves. She somehow persuaded the suspect to go outside, where a Santa Rosa Sheriff Deputy was waiting to arrest him, but there was a struggle. Purves said that the officer first tried to tase the suspect. “Then the police was on the floor struggling with this kid and said ‘I’m going to have to shoot you. Stop’. Really quickly I heard four quick shots so I didn’t know if the policeman was down and the kid had the gun I looked around the policeman was down on one knee and so I called 9-1-1, I said officer down” (297)
“The incident started around 8:40 a.m. on Pine Plain Road when a state trooper went to a disabled vehicle. When the trooper approached the vehicle the occupant reportedly fled the area on foot with a bag. Deputies later saw a man who fit the description of the suspect driving a pickup truck in Columbia around 9:30 a.m. and a pursuit began. During the pursuit, officers of the City of Cayce issued a tire deflation device near Old Dunbar Road. At this time deputies learned the man was armed as they saw he had a small gun to his head when the truck spun out of control. The man continued to flee with a deflated tire and made his way back to I-26 eastbound where he spun out of control again, stopped and locked himself in his car for more than four hours. During their investigation authorities were able to determine that Shaw was wanted for failure to appear in General Sessions court for his charges of unlawful carry of a pistol, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of methamphetamine and failure to stop for blue lights. Deputies along with a tactical team of negotiators contacted the man on this cell phone in an attempt to get him to surrender. Negotiations were going well for about two and a half hours until the man made what deputies say was a “sudden movement” in the car and deputies fired shots.” (299)
