The 57-year-old man was out on bail on 2023 charges of sexual assault and kidnapping.

The Alaska State Troopers identified the two troopers and Homer police officer on Monday.

Troopers opened fire on the man in the Kasilof area after he shot and injured an officer in the leg, the agency said.

A customer died and an employee was wounded in the shooting at the store in November 2021.

Michael Krischuk, 34, remains hospitalized but is expected to recover.

A 21-year-old man was arrested on first-degree murder charges Wednesday, police said.

Both men survived their wounds. Trevor Stefano, charged with attempted murder, was on parole for second-degree murder in a 2006 case.

The report stopped short of publicly disclosing whether officers violated policy.

Four judges have agreed to delay the trial more than 70 times in total. We pieced together a timeline of the delays using audio recordings and logs from every hearing.

Both the suspect and the homeowner survived their gunshot wounds, police said. The shooting was the second involving police in 24 hours.

APD Chief Sean Case said the officer “fired between five and eight rounds” when the suspect didn’t respond to commands and fled on foot.

The 38-year-old man was shot at a home after multiple callers said he was trying to enter vehicles and buildings late Sunday, Alaska State Troopers said.

In Alaska, where the time to resolve most serious felony cases has nearly tripled over the past decade, one case was delayed so long that both victims died. A former prosecutor called it “a travesty of justice.”

The 26-year-old fired through a door, killing a man who witnesses said had been acting erratically, according to a criminal complaint.

The families of Amelia Nowak and Derek Duerr said they believe Matthew Davis’ 30-year sentence was not long enough. Anchorage District Attorney Brittany Dunlop said the plea agreement marked one of the highest sentences to be imposed in Alaska for a DUI homicide.

Family members of Jaclyn Welcome, a mother of six who was killed when an employee at a gas station near downtown fired on a group of people in 2021, criticized the sentence.

Michael Paschall, 62, is accused of stealing more than $400,000 from the Rural Deltana Volunteer Fire Department, according to state officials.

No arrests have been made in the shooting that occurred late Monday, the Anchorage Police Department said Thursday.

One person was wounded by a man who witnesses say called for help, then opened fire from the trees near the Alaska Native Medical Center housing area.

Caleb French secretly took photos of children with the intent of turning the images into AI-generated pornography, prosecutors said.

As Alaska continues to experience high overdose rates, law enforcement agencies targeted not only luggage but also mail.

According to a written account by the Juneau Police Department, someone called the department at 5:25 a.m. Wednesday and said a woman was screaming at people and that she had threatened the caller with a hammer.

Alaska State Troopers also said methamphetamine found in a honey bucket led to the arrest of a Mug-Shot Saloon bouncer on a probation violation.
