On May 18, 2024, at around 2:00 pm, the Alaska State Troopers responded to a residence in Marshall after receiving reports that an 18-year-old female was armed with a handgun and threatening to kill herself. Troopers and Marshall Tribal Police Officers located the female at a residence and while they were attempting to speak with her, she produced a handgun. Due to the female’s actions an Alaska State Trooper discharged their handgun as officers were exiting the residence. A short time later the female exited the residence and was detained. No Troopers, citizens, or the female that was brandishing the firearm were injured during the incident.
On July 30, 2024, the Alaska Office of Special Prosecution completed their review of the criminal investigation, and determined that the Trooper's lethal use of force was allowed under Alaska law.
