Case v. Montana · ¶34

Case had told his girlfriend, J. H., on the phone that he would “shoot them all” if she called the police to his house. App. 69. Once J. H. arrived at the house, she told the officers that Case threatened to “shoot it out” with the police. Id., at 70–74. The officers also knew that in a prior incident in which police were called to respond to a suicide attempt by Case, Case had confronted the police in a way that suggested he was attempting suicide-by-cop. Then, while surveying the house, the officers discussed how Case had “ `tried suicide by cop before' ” and that it was likely Case was “ `going to pull a gun on us' ” once they “ `go in the house.' ” 417 Mont. 354, 373, 553 P. 3d 985, 998 (2024) (McKinnon, J., dissenting).
