Fresno Police shot and killed Dylan Noble. Police had been responding to reports of a man with a rifle when they pulled over Noble as he drove his pickup truck. After Noble stepped out of his truck, police say, he had one arm behind his back. Police shot him four times. He was later found to be unarmed. He died at a Fresno hospital.[2] His parents spoke to reporters on July 7. The family's lawyers are working on a wrongful death lawsuit against the Fresno Police Department.[3] The Fresno County District Attorney has decided that there will be no criminal charges against the officers involved in the shooting.[4] The City of Fresno settled the lawsuit by Noble's parents, agreeing to pay $2.8 million.[5]
Atlanta police officer James Burns shot and killed Deravis Caine Rogers on Monroe Place in Midtown Atlanta. The following month, he turned himself into the Fulton County jail; the county district attorney has indicated he will face multiple charges, including felony murder.[7]
Plainclothes police parked an unmarked van outside Scism's residence while preparing an informant to make a drug purchase. Scism walked up to the van and confronted them, before turning and walking away, pulling up his shirt to display a handgun in his waistband, with an officer shooting him in the back of the head. The officer claimed Scism had pulled the weapon in him.[8]
Omar Mateen, a New York-born US citizen of Afghan descent residing in Fort Pierce, Florida,[9] entered the Pulse nightclub at around 2:00 a.m. armed with a semiautomatic rifle and handgun. After committing what was at that point the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, Mateen was killed around 5:00 a.m. during a gunfight involving him and eleven SWAT officers.[10][11]
Responding to a 911 call made in the late hours of June 7, three Henry County police officers entered the wrong home where they encountered Air Force veteran Powell, who had armed himself with a gun. After allegedly having been ordered to drop his gun, Powell was shot in the neck by Sgt. Patrick D. Snook and died the next day (June 9) at Atlanta Medical Center.[12][13]
Omar Villagomez was shot and killed by officers from the Stanislaus County, California, Drug Enforcement Agency in a parking lot on West Main Street in Turlock on Tuesday, June 7. Officers were trying to arrest Villagomez when the vehicle he was driving collided with an unmarked police vehicle. At that point the officers fired at Villagomez, killing him. The passenger, Juan Bulgara, 27, was not shot, but was taken to a hospital for injuries sustained in the vehicle crash.[14]
Green was approached by Columbus police officers who were patrolling the corner of Duxberry and Ontario in the Linden area in civilian clothes in an unmarked car as part of the Summer Community Safety Initiative. Police said that Green had a gun and when asked to drop the gun, Green was shot. Green died of his wounds at the hospital. Ohio has an open-carry gun law.[15]
