Despite repeated commands from officers, Wilson continued advancing and displaying threatening behavior. An officer ultimately opened fire, striking Wilson. She was transported to a hospital, where she later died, while the injured officer is expected to recover. This tragic incident highlights the unpredictable nature of mental health calls and the fine line between de-escalation and danger. Los Angeles, California. On the morning of July 20th, 2023, around 11.35am, officers from the Newton Patrol Division responded to a call reporting an assault with a deadly weapon at an apartment complex on the 1000 block of East 7th Street. The caller stated that a man armed with a knife was threatening another person. Upon arrival, officers spoke with building security, who identified the suspect as 56-year-old Billy Stribling and directed them to the 6th floor. As the elevator doors opened, the officers were met by Stribling, who was holding a knife and an umbrella. Without warning, he raised the knife above his head and advanced toward them. The officers responded with gunfire while simultaneously deploying a 40mm less lethal round. Stribling was hit by both the bullets and the projectile, causing him to fall to the ground.

Wakey County District Attorney Lauren Freeman announced that no criminal charges will be filed against the Raleigh police officers involved in the forceful arrest of 44-year-old Frederick Darnell Hall. The decision follows a review of body camera footage capturing Hall fighting officers at the intersection of Garner Road and Martin Luther King Boulevard on Friday morning. Officers repeatedly ordered Hall to calm down, and after two unsuccessful taser attempts, they used fists and batons to subdue him. Hall was seen striking officers as they worked to gain control. Freeman described the footage as unfortunate and troubling to watch, but stressed that the officers acted within the law. Law enforcement officers are authorized to use force necessary to stop an attack, she said.

The officers followed proper protocol, including attempting less lethal measures before escalating to physical force.
