A store employee had been shoved to the ground and a box of kitchen knives stolen. The box was later found abandoned with one 8-in chef's knife missing. The suspect, 28-year-old [music] Di Abdelhadi Halabi from New York, was already moving through the area with that knife hidden on him. A separate officer was standing at the front of the police station collecting information about an unrelated call when Halebe walked up to him at the front doors. >> Let me let me talk to them first and then we can talk. Is that okay? >> Were they here? >> I was here first. Yes. I just want you to know >> what's in your jacket. I don't want I'm kind of I'm kind of nervous for your hanging jack. >> You're nervous? >> Yeah. >> The officer asked him to wait. Without warning, Halebe pulled the knife from his clothing and attacked, slashing and stabbing the officer before he could react. The wounded officer moved away, drew his duty weapon, and retreated around the corner of the building. Kill the ground. >> Kill the ground. >> Hale followed him around the corner, continuing the attack. An officer involved shooting occurred at that location.

The stabbed officer spent one night in hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. in front of you. >> I got one at gunpoint. Aanita Masalon, guns facing northbound. Uh, send an ambulance. >> The stolen knife was recovered. Halea had walked through the area with it hidden [music] after pushing a store employee to the ground and then attacked an officer standing at the entrance of a police station. The location alone made no difference to what happened. When someone has already made up their mind, nowhere is safe enough. Snip. Snip. >> Hey, I'm hurt. I'm stabbed. I'm stabbed. >> [ __ ] You're getting shot. On June 24th, 2026, at approximately 2:54 p.m., New Britain Police Department officers in New Britain, Connecticut, USA, responded to 911 calls about shots fired at 15 Union Street, finding spent shell casings in the street and bullet holes on the exterior of a residence. 9 minutes later, another 911 call came in about two masked males in hoodies acting suspiciously near a TD Bank branch at 178 Main Street.

SHOTS FIRED. >> The chase pushed into a parking lot adjacent to one Herald Square. Officer Joseph Mil Homeman's pursued on bicycle while officer Jillian Corwek, Detective Netherman, and Sergeant Michael Slavven followed in an unmarked vehicle. In the parking lot, one of the males turned and fired a shot directly at Detective Netman, who was the closest to him. Netman returned fire from his duty weapon, striking the suspect multiple times. A handgun and spent casing were recovered where he fell. >> Clear. The wounded suspect, a 17-year-old New Britain resident who cannot be publicly identified due to his age, was taken into custody and transported to hospital where he is expected to survive. The second male was tackled in the same parking lot by officer Milman's and taken into custody. He was identified as 18-year-old Osain Gail of New Britain and found to be carrying a handgun with a high-capacity magazine. The 17-year-old was charged with criminal attempt at assault in the first degree, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and carrying a pistol without a permit.

I'll put the dog back up. >> Never worked for you. >> Put your hands up. I got a call of a man with a gun. Officers in Illinois, USA, responded to a 911 call about a man with a gun. When they arrived and located 48-year-old Lotus, he was standing with a pistol visible in a holster on his waistband. Officers drew their weapons and ordered him to put his hands up. Instead, Lotus removed the gun from the holster and began walking around with it in his hand, ignoring every command given to him. >> Put your hands up right now. Put your hands up right now. >> Remove him from the car. Take her Take him from the car. He might have a gun. I would get her out the car or drive off. One or the other. >> Do not PUT TAKE YOUR HAND OFF THE GUN. >> Take your hand. I got called here. >> Take your hand off the gun right now. I got called here for the man with a gun. >> YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR A GUY who got information. >> Okay. Can you I can listen to that. If you will take your hand off the gun. >> Tase him. >> Put the gun down. The standoff stretched on as officers repeatedly ordered him to drop the weapon while attempting to deescalate. A taser was deployed, but only one probe made contact, leaving Lotus still mobile and still armed. He eventually got back into his car and drove away. >> That's my name. >> Hey, I live where my car Officers located the vehicle again shortly after and initiated a second stop. He's parked over by county. >> With your hands up. With your hands up. >> Is your firearm in that pouch? >> Leave the dog in the car. >> Sir, stop. Stop moving. Stay right there. Stay right there. Just stay right there. >> During the second stop, Lotus refused commands to exit without the gun and continued to move toward officers. A second taser deployment was successful, bringing him to the ground. >> Please. Let's go. Grab it. >> Put the dog back up. >> I'll put the dog back. >> That wouldn't work. >> He was taken into custody. A search of his vehicle uncovered a rifle inside the car in addition to the pistol he had been carrying. His dog, which was inside the vehicle, was unharmed and taken to Oak Forest Animal Control. >> Check this power. >> I don't have it on me. It's in the car. >> I just want to make sure. Right. >> I didn't come out. >> You did the first time. >> 1 2 3. >> Supposed to be a quiet Sunday, sir. >> Yep. >> Lotus was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated assault, and seven counts of resisting a peace officer. Officers had spoken to him calmly, repeated commands dozens of times, and tried everything available before the second taser ended it. Seven counts of resisting a peace officer is a number that tends to tell its own story. >> I hope you don't. >> Have a seat. >> Can I have a cigarette, please? >> When we get back to the station, have a seat. >> Grab your cigarettes. I'm going to grab your lighter. I promise. I know you guys lie [clears throat] like that. >> I promise you. You're going to give me a cigarette for real. >> At the station, yes. You can't smoke in our squads. We'll give you one before you go into the station. On January 21st, 2026, Florida Highway Patrol troopers in Wakulla County, Florida, USA, attempted to stop a stolen work truck. The driver was 15 years old. He refused to pull over and push the truck to high speed, passing other vehicles by driving onto the grassy shoulder before cutting back onto the roadway. Troopers attempted a precision immobilization technique, but the truck kept going. Moments later, the stolen truck sideswiped an SUV carrying three people before leaving the roadway entirely. The truck struck a utility pole, crashed through a chainlink fence, and overturned near Shadeville Elementary School. The impact snapped the utility pole in half. Get out of here. >> The suspect was taken into custody at the scene. Minor injuries were reported to both the suspect and the occupants of the SUV. The snap utility pole caused a power outage and temporary road closures while repair crews worked to restore the damage near an elementary school. All right. Put your goddamn hands behind. Yes, sir. Put your hand behind your back. Put your hand behind your [ __ ] >> the utility pole, the chain link fence, the SUV, and the stolen work truck all sustained damage from the crash. A power outage affected the surrounding area while crews made repairs. 15 years old, a stolen truck, a snapped utility pole, and a crash near an elementary school. The age of the driver does not change what those choices put at risk. >> For real, you in trouble, but it ain't nothing you can come back from, bro. So, you all right? All right. You're young. You're young. And you can I don't want to go to I >> On June 21st, 2026, an Arkansas State Police trooper in Arkansas, USA, initiated a stop on a GMC Yukon that was driving on a visibly flat tire and refused to yield. The driver pushed on despite the damaged tire, driving erratically and at points crossing into the wrong side of the road. Almost lost the whole front tire. Speeds have dropped down to 20 as he's driving on the ramp. And we're approaching Markham. Approaching Mar4 coming up Passing Leewood. Oh, don't. The trooper attempted multiple precision immobilization technique maneuvers before finally executing one successfully, bringing the Yukon to a stop. When the trooper approached the disabled vehicle, the driver was completely unresponsive. She then told the trooper she had overdosed on fentanyl. >> I'm like, "What are we doing?" And then she just kept going. >> Yes. The trooper immediately administered Narcan to the driver at the scene. She regained responsiveness and was transported for medical care. Troopers intended to sight her for the traffic offenses following the medical incident once she had received treatment. The GMC Yukon sustained damage from driving on a flat tire throughout the pursuit and from the successful intervention. The same trooper who had been trying to stop the vehicle moments earlier ended up being the one who kept the driver alive at the scene. That shift from pursuit to life-saving happened in the span of a single stopped car. She just said that she was pretty sure she was against April 10th in Lake Charles, Louisiana, USA, a high-speed pursuit of a stolen truck driven by convicted felon Cody Davis was captured in full-on dash cam footage. The video became central evidence in a criminal trial that would later determine his fate. What the camera recorded left no room for interpretation. Right. All right. Get off the air for a minute. You got a 52 run going north. Oh [ __ ] >> Thank you. Santa on the floor down clear. >> Driver, stop your vehicle. Hold down line. 52 52. >> The footage showed Davis ramming other vehicles out of his way, driving on the wrong side of the road, and according to prosecutors, ditching a stolen gun that can be seen bouncing on the pavement. Davis took the stand in his own defense and claimed his brakes were not working. Prosecutors pointed to recorded jail phone calls in which Davis himself stated he had led officers on a high-speed chase in direct contradiction to everything he told the jury. The jury found Davis guilty on all six counts. Five charges were unanimous. The obstruction of justice charge came back 11 to1. The assistant district attorney described Davis's testimony as the most ridiculous story anyone had ever told on the witness stand and noted that he had committed perjury in front of the jury using recorded phone calls as direct proof. Davis was found guilty of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, illegal possession of a stolen firearm, aggravated flight from an officer, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, obstruction of justice by tampering with evidence, and aggravated criminal damage to property. He will be subject to enhanced penalties as a habitual offender at sentencing. He denied leading a chase in court while his own recorded voice confirmed it from a jail phone. The dash cam did not need to argue its case. >> You a couple a couple to the one at Eddie. >> We need a couple to the one at Ryan and Eddie.

The second Tesla abruptly exited at mile marker 275, while the first continued accelerating and weaving recklessly between lanes at tripledigit speeds. Ahead, traffic had come to a stop in two lanes, and the suspect shot past everyone through the only open lane on the right. Yeah, somebody's bike over. >> Oh, traffic. Hit it. Go again. Go again. All right. The suspect ran over spike strips placed by West Memphis Police Department officers near the Ingram Street overpass. The trooper attempted two tactical vehicle intervention maneuvers before finally spinning the Tesla into the concrete wall near mile marker 282. The suspect then rammed the trooper's patrol unit, bending the left rear wheel and forcing it into the guard rail before trooper Hess performed a second intervention that brought the vehicle to a final stop. He hit 24 car. >> Both suspects were taken into custody without further incident. A search of the vehicle uncovered a small amount of marijuana and digital scales. The driver, Williams, was charged with reckless driving, fleeing, aggravated assault, unauthorized use of a vehicle, and no liability insurance. The passenger, Taylor, was charged with possession of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. The Tesla had been rented through the Turo app by the driver's cousin, and the trooper patrol unit sustained significant damage from the ram.

HEY, GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. GET ON THE GROUND. THAT'S THE 111. >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> GET on the ground. >> Yes, sir. >> Get on the ground. The rider was taken into custody and the patrol car sustained rear-end damage from the drifting motorcycle. After being apprehended, the rider complained about the damage to his motorcycle while officers discussed the logistics of the stop around him.

And why, you know, we I cannot parking behind her. >> Okay. Well, you you are required to go as far away between. You're not supposed to be between any cars. You're supposed to be against that curb line. Okay. >> No. >> Okay. I don't think that you're understanding what I'm what I'm saying here. Okay. >> I understand. I told you she car >> where your vehicle was located. Your vehicle is not like that. >> Sit up. >> No. >> You sit up. >> Get on the ground. sir. >> V allegedly tapped the officer on the chest and told him to be quiet, a move the officer treated as a direct act of aggression. Within seconds, the officer brought Vue to the ground in a swift takedown captured clearly on body cam footage.

The officer was placed on administrative leave pending review. The case was forwarded to the Oklahoma County District Attorney for review. No financial damages or property losses were reported in connection with the incident. When force meets fragility, the line between lawful control and excessive response becomes a question the entire community has to sit with.
