* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only) Susanville, California — On Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at about 12:25 a.m., two Susanville Police officers were dispatched after receiving information that Ngirasiau "Derek" Sikong was behaving erratically, possibly under the influence of methamphetamine, and had threatened children while armed with a machete. When officers arrived, Sikong allegedly became increasingly agitated and, during a tense standoff from an upstairs window, held a two-year-old child outside before pulling the child back inside and making movements that led officers to believe the child faced an immediate risk of serious harm. The situation escalated rapidly when Officer David Lee fired through a second-story window after observing what appeared to be a downward strike with the machete toward the child. As officers entered the residence moments later, investigators said Sikong charged toward them with the machete and wounded Officer Lee, causing a severe shoulder injury. Officer Lee then returned fire, while Officer KC Capron deployed a less-lethal round after Sikong continued to ignore commands. Three children inside the home were located unharmed, but Sikong later died from gunshot wounds despite officers' efforts to provide emergency medical care. Officer Lee was treated at a hospital and released. After reviewing body-camera footage, witness statements, and forensic interviews, prosecutors determined that both officers' use of force was justified and announced that no criminal charges will be filed. 🚨𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑑𝑜𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑣𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠. ⚠️𝑉𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡.⚠️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - Michael Griffin - John Doe - 'Twitchypowpow' - Lillian Daley - Tyrell Robertson - christine Grinter - 'Based Asuka' - 'The Evil Queen' - Benjamin Osgood - Gary Wilson - LJ - Edward Aquino - Brianna Wilkins - William - Cammy - Elisabeth Craig - Bobby Roach - Sarin Dipity - Becky Hopkins - thomas - Cody Stephens - Troy Polansky - Tulla Belle - 'quadrakyiro' - Scott Mackin - "John B.
