Fabian Patillo reportedly shot himself by mistake as off-duty OPD Sgt. Juan Paladines and rookie OPD officer Stephen Struska pursued him on foot. According to police, Patillo was suspected in the rape and robbery of several woman in River Forest, and had run off when one victim fought back. Police learned that Patillo had entered Mills Park, so they sealed off the area and began to search. Paladines, who'd reportedly heard about the search on his radio, parked and saw Patillo crouching behind a garbage can. Patillo then started down Home, and Paladines got out and followed, radioing his position. Struska joined Paladines. Struska passed Paladines, and was about to grab Patillo when he allegedly pulled a handgun. According to police, Patillo attempted to shoot Struska over his shoulder, but fired too soon and shot himself in the side of the head. Patillo died several hours later.

Brooks claimed he'd shot Cates in self-defense while struggling over a gun he said she'd threatened him with after he came home from a night of drinking with another woman who was a part-time Calverton Park police officer. In 2007, Brooks was found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. In 2010, the Missouri Supreme Court ordered a new trial after ruling that prosecutors had made improper comments at Brooks' trial about his refusal to give investigators a statement after being advised of his right to remain silent. In 2012, Brooks was again found guilty of second degree murder.

Officer Eugene Williams was moonlighting as a plainclothes security guard at the Bel-Air Mall at around 2 p.m. when he ejected a group of teens from Detroit National Wholesale Liquidators because of a policy banning unaccompanied shoppers under 17. The teens disputed this—they were with one youth's 19-year-old brother and his friend. According to witnesses, Williams struck one teen, then fired as they turned and ran, hitting Brandon Martell Moore (called Brandon Burks in some reports) in the back, killing him. Another youth was shot in the hand. Moore's friends said Williams kicked him as he lay handcuffed on the ground after police arrested all of them. The shooting was ruled justified. In 1971, Williams was fired for a fatal hit-and-run while DUI. He appealed and was reinstated in 1974. In 1979, Williams shot and killed a man during a brawl. In 1984, Williams shot his wife; she survived. He claimed she'd lunged at him with scissors. Williams stayed on the force. Questions were raised about whether Williams was in compliance with state law, which required security guards to wear uniforms.
