NEWS RELEASE - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURT ORDER VIOLATION INCIDENT
On September 15th, 2026, at approximately 7:25am, Yakima Police Officers responded to a report of a domestic violence court order violation in the 400 block of N 24th Ave. It was reported that a male suspect had entered the residence, armed with a firearm. The victims in the home were able to exit the residence, and officers were able to make initial contact with the suspect via phone, however, the call was terminated and there was no further communication from the suspect.
The Yakima Valley Crisis Response Unit arrived and took over the security of the scene and attempted negotiations. Once a search warrant was obtained, police entered the residence and found the 33-year-old male suspect with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Medical care was provided on scene, and the suspect was taken to Yakima MultiCare Memorial Hospital. He was later transported to a trauma center on west side of the state, in critical condition.
Yakima Police Department Detectives are continuing to follow up on this investigation.

So what was/is the reason?
Is Robertson elementary school going to be on lockdown to start the day?
News reported a domestic violence situation.
I've been here on the scene since 730
Its too early for that
Oh, dang. I was about to drive down that way
Be safe, Yakima Police Department
Take care of your mental health. These calls can be devastating.
Crime radar was reporting that someone had called 911 and reported they had a g*n to their head. There was what sounded like a g*nshot. It was reported also that their were 2 pit bulls in the home as well. I hope the person did not act and police are just trying to talk them out of the house. So sad. People are going through so much. π
Prayers for a safe outcome π I heard on my scanner someone was going to end their life with a gun on Lincoln but didn't catch the side street, praying this is not him as swat could push him to do it π π’
I just drove by and was wondering what was going on π¬
Sending prayers for everyone near there to stay safe. Amen π

We should be honoring those lost by ensuring we have responsible foreign policy. The knee jerk US military response to 9/11 should be seen as evidence that the United States should not be trusted with the world's most expensive military.
TRAFFIC TIP TUESDAY
To keep our roads safer for everyone, all vehicles-especially trucks- must be equipped with splash guards or aprons that cover the full width of the rear tires. This helps prevent rocks, mud, and debris from hitting other vehicles.

This is the actual video recording of the incident that's been getting a lot of attention. Instead of listening to rumors, it's better we see the facts for ourselves in this video. It's short, but it's important so we don't get the wrong idea.. www.facebook.com/share/p/19UKMVdw5H/
Peggy Byrd Lister look at this
The only thing restraining orders on paper is good for is to wipe your ass with. When are good U.S. citizens going to learn that the police are not outside your house to protect you and that you need to carry. Police are only there to clean up the mess afterward. Well maybe this scumbag won't make it and the family will have peace.
Love is the worst π πͺ pain in my experience.
This is sad.
Prayers sent to his family π I was so worried about him shooting himself π I'm praying he services his injuries π π’ and gets help π
This is sad π
That is so so sad. if you're in an unhealthy relationship, get the heck out of it!!!!
At least he didn’t kill his family first. Tragic either way. Healing prayers to the family.
Damn
smh rip jay
