Search for wanted person leads to fatal officer-involved shooting in Great Falls

Traci Rosenbaum, Great Falls Tribune
The Great Falls Police Department has announced that a search for a wanted man led to a foot pursuit and a fatal officer-involved shooting on Wednesday morning.

At a news conference, GFPD Chief Jeff Newton said there are no other threats to the community at this time. No officers, witnesses or bystanders were injured in the shooting.

Just after 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, GFPD, Montana Probation and Parole (P&P) and the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) were working together as part of the Montana Violent Offenders Task Force to apprehend a suspect who had a no-bond warrant for their arrest.

The subject was known to the task force and has had previous contact with law enforcement.

Just before 9 a.m., the investigation led the task force to the area of 16th Avenue South and 2nd Street in Great Falls. Law enforcement made contact with the wanted person, who then fled a residence on foot carrying a weapon, and a foot chase ensued.

Police fatally shot an Arizona man who they said threw rocks at their cars, but family members questioned why they did not use a nonlethal method, saying the man had a history of mental health issues.

Ali Osman was killed around 6:45 p.m. Saturday in Phoenix. Two patrol units were driving through the intersection of 19th Avenue and Tuckey Lane “when their cars were struck by unknown items causing damage,” police said in a news release.

An officer in one of the patrol units went to investigate and saw a man “throwing rocks towards his patrol car,” the release says.

Police said the man was told to stop, but he refused.
