Bail agent Chasity Dawn Carey shot and killed 38-year-old Brandon James Williams while attempting to take him into custody last August.  The incident was caught on camera.  See video below.  Viewer discretion is advised.

“I started bending down to put it on the ground,” Garces said. “I didn’t want to drop it. It would go off. That’s when he shot me.”

“The clerks did an outstanding job of fighting him,” Tulsa Police Sgt. Dave Walker told KJRH.

“The victim is a Customs and Border Protection officer,” Rosario said. “[She] retrieved her firearm, shots were fired and the subject has been deceased here at the residence.”

“Had he not been in the right place at the right time, who knows what would have happened,” Corporal Cory Waters told local media. “But he definitely stopped the attack from continuing and becoming much worse. He might have even saved either one of their lives. It could have gone really bad, even for the suspect.”

According to the sheriff’s office, Deputy Richard Scarborough shot 16-year-old Joseph Haynes during a physical altercation between Scarborough, Haynes, and Haynes’s family. At some point the deputy was knocked to the ground and fired a single gunshot, which hit Haynes in the abdomen.

The 58-year-old fired, hitting Gales in “the back of the head,” the police told the Chicago Tribune. 

Law enforcement and military personnel have used training simulators for years, but now schools will begin using the same technology to prepare for mass shootings.
