Suspect who shot two Miami police officers identified as 27-year-old Mason Triana
Two Miami police officers were shot Thursday morning while responding to reports of gunfire in the Allapattah neighborhood, leading to a heavy police response and a tense hours-long standoff that ended with the armed suspect dead, authorities confirmed.
The suspect was identified as 27-year-old Mason Triana, though police have not yet confirmed whether his death resulted from a self-inflicted gunshot wound or from the exchange of gunfire with responding officers.
According to Miami Police Chief Manny Morales, the incident began shortly before 7:00 a.m., when officers were dispatched to the area of NW 15th Avenue and NW 26th Street regarding a vehicle that appeared abandoned in the roadway. Finding no one nearby, officers requested a tow truck to remove the vehicle.
Moments later, a ShotSpotter alert—a gunfire detection system—indicated gunshots had been fired nearby.
Responding officers located another vehicle riddled with bullets in the same vicinity.
As they assessed the scene, a gunman opened fire on them, striking two officers.
One officer, a male sergeant, was shot in the knee, while a female officer sustained a gunshot wound to the ankle.
Both were transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where they were reported to be in stable condition and in good spirits.
“I visited them at the hospital — both were calm, professional, and eager to recover,” Chief Morales said. “I’m extremely proud of their bravery and composure under fire.”
Following the initial shooting, Triana barricaded himself inside a nearby residence, prompting a large tactical response from SWAT and other specialized units.
The area was secured, and nearby residents were urged to remain indoors as negotiations continued for several hours.
At one point, Triana exited the residence and engaged officers with what police described as a high-caliber rifle before retreating inside.
No additional injuries were reported during the exchange.
Authorities later confirmed that Triana was found deceased inside the home, marking the end of the standoff. Police did not specify the cause of death pending further investigation.
A second individual connected to the incident was detained at the scene and is being questioned, though officials have not released that person’s identity or specific role in the events.
Chief Morales noted that the situation could have been far worse, emphasizing the professionalism and restraint shown by responding officers throughout the incident.
The investigation remains ongoing as detectives work to determine the sequence of events and the motive behind the shooting.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
