The Gilbert Police Department released body camera, phone recording footage, picture, 911 calls and details about an officer-involved shooting that occurred in Gilbert on Sunday, January 21, 2024.
Gilbert, Arizona — On Sunday, January 21, the Gilbert Police Department’s dispatch center received two related emergency calls. The first call came in at 1:59 PM, when the caller reported he had just concluded a concerning phone call with a male coworker.
The caller reported to dispatchers that his coworker, identified as 40-year-old Brett Shanahan, had recently learned he was going to be going through a divorce and told him he was on his way to the home of his wife’s divorce attorney in Gilbert.
The caller stated Shanahan was armed and wearing a ballistic vest. Before the call concluded, the caller expressed concerns for both public and officer safety due to concerning statements about “taking care of business”.
Brett Joseph Shanahan joined the United States Marine Corps in 2008 and spent over 11-years active duty. During his time in service, he deployed twice to Afghanistan with Operation Enduring Freedom as a motor transport operator. Upon return from his deployments, Brett was hand picked to be the driver for the base General, Colonial and Sargeant major. He then spent 3-years overseas in Okinawa, Japan where he was a Chief of Operations in which he led over 80 Marines. He ended his service as a Drill Instructor on Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, where he trained over 2,000 recruits into Marines.
At 2:07 PM, a second 9-1-1 call came in where the caller reported that a family friend had just shown up to their home near the 800 block of West Sun Coast Drive in Gilbert. The caller individual identified the individual as Brett Shanahan and stated Shanahan was looking for her husband, an attorney representing Shanahan’s wife in divorce proceedings. The caller stated to the dispatcher that Shanahan was armed, wearing an armored vest, and had made concerning statements before driving away.
Responding Gilbert Police Officers arrived at the second reporting party’s residence a short time later to further obtain information from the caller.
Two additional Gilbert Police Officers were dispatched to Shanahan’s residence in the 1200 block of East Parkcrest Court for a welfare check on Shanahan. Shanahan’s residence is in a cul-de-sac with one point of entry and exit.
At 2:26 PM, while in the area of 1200 East Parkcrest speaking with neighbors, the two on-scene officers saw Shanahan’s vehicle enter the neighborhood. The officers entered their vehicles with the intent to conduct a high-risk traffic stop on Shanahan.
The two officers drove down the residential street a short distance when they observed Shanahan’s vehicle stop and partially block the roadway. They also observed Shanahan has now exited the roadway and is armed with a handgun, rifle, and wearing a ballistic vest consistent with the previous reports by the two 9-1-1 callers.
Officers exited their vehicles, and at 2:27 PM, they began providing verbal commands for Shanahan to put the gun down as Shanahan began to walk in the direction of the officers shouting at them to “take the shot.”
In addition to being captured on body worn camera, the incident was also captured via a third-party witness cellphone video.
At 2:27 PM as officers are actively providing repeated commands for Shanahan to drop his weapon, Shanahan continued to walk toward the officers—closing the distance between them—with a firearm in hand, presenting an immediate and deadly threat to the officers and community.
Responding to this immediate and deadly threat, the two officers fired their duty weapons at Shanahan.
As officers engaged Shanahan with their firearms, Shanahan is seen on the witness’ video placing his gun to his head before the witness pans the camera away briefly and returns to Shanahan lying motionless in the street.
Due to Shanahan’s rifle being pointed in the direction of the two officers, an immediate action team of Gilbert officers was assembled to enable officers to safely approach Shanahan. The immediate action team confirmed Shanahan was unresponsive through the use of two less-lethal rounds and officers then approached Shanahan who was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner has ruled Brett Shanahan’s manner of death as a suicide caused by a gunshot wound to the head. This is also consistent with the investigation conducted by the Gilbert Police Department, which concluded that Brett Shanahan suffered from several injuries to include a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head.

So, in the end, he did not act like a marine, he acted like a coward.
How is there never enough money for americans or veterans, yet unlimited money for illegals? Seems to me that military members should break the law THEN GET REWARDED.
Veteran Brothers and Sisters, PLEASE REACH OUT FOR HELP !!!
People feeling that level of desperation, PLEASE REACH OUT FOR HELP !!!
The world needs you here.
Your family needs you here.
Your friends need you here.
People that look up to you, as a mentor, role model, or example to follow, etc., need you here.
Fellow Veterans, like me, that have gone through the same things that you have, want you here.
I need you to talk to.
Please stay.
Firearms and high emotions are incompatible.
Terrible 😮
sad…
Bro her boss is a divorce attorney and then is gonna represent her in court? Man she fucked her boss and he convinced her to leave him and take half his shit and the house. Hoes always gettin Bro on Bro crime
Sad, I’m a vet and if my wife wanted to leave I would help her move and be please I finally get some peace and quiet from her complaining all the time. 😂
Fckn sad. Unconditional love is for women,children,and dogs.
As a USMC combat veteran, this was very hard to watch. I refused to believe that I was suffering from PTSD for almost 20 years. A fellow Marine I served with promised me to seek treatment while he laid on his deathbed from cancer. I did seek treatment and was diagnosed with severe PTSD. I didn't seek treatment before because I was afraid of a label. I'm physically shaking from watching this, because this could have been me.
only one thing as bad as war, an unwanted divorce.
I wonder if his wife was messing around with the attorney. She works for him. After she started to work with him, she decided to get a divorce and her boss is helping with the divorce. Sounds a little sketchy to me.
I know what PTSD and it’s hard thing suicide is not the answer keep fighting it and pray about and pushing the devil away because I had a friend who had PTSD and I stayed with him for long time to let him know he’s not a lone and I’m here if anyone needs help
Normally I don't have a lot of sympathy for SBC, but the fact this man was a military vet,…
Sad outcome
My deepest respect to everyone in, or who tries to help military. This is unfortunate no matter how you frame it.
Fuck you know he just wanted to get shot. As a fellow vet this is heart breaking. That woman was problem the only thing he had and felt life wasnt worth it fuck heart breaking
Bro this breaks my heart.
they shoot drug addicts doing the same thing holding guns with salt rocks…. but cant taser a vet. FUCK THE CURRENT DIRECTION THE LEADERS OF AMERICA ARE TAKING THE COUNTRY..
Sad
This is just sad…
Rough
All of that over a stupid girl who was probably cheating on him the whole time. Sad.
Reasons why war veterans should never be in law enforcement
"It is our prayer that through this tragedy, just one life can be saved by getting help and using the resources available" said the woman who was using an entire law office for free to take his house, his savings, his pension, and pretty much every other reason to live. SHE could have helped him, but she chose to fleece him. I bet she was demanding spousal extortion payments, too.
Man, that’s sad. God rest his soul. Tough situation for those cops.
That is such a shame. If only he would have been willing to get help…….
Be careful who you marry, and who you let around your significant other. This woman is 100% at fault for this, guy gave his life to serve his country and that 304 decided to sleep with a lawyer. 50% of marriages end in divorce, but 80% of them are initiated by the woman. Stay single boys
No man comes back from service the same. It's heartbreaking that fellow veterans had to do this to the man.
How sad for everyone involved.
Women always cause a man to lose his ish.
Then the masses of you normies still can't figure out why mgtow is a thing.
& the rise of the red pill.
Men stop getting married in America's gynocentric system you won't win.
sad
thats fucking sad to watch to be fair. also the officers are also vets. god forbid what this dude had gone trough in his mind. RIP
Go through a war only to let some woman screw up your head? It's just not worth it.
That's gotta be a horrifying feeling. Knowing the person wants to commit suicide by cop. And that he is heavily armed and in the midst of a psychotic break.
I can guarantee the wife was caught cheating on him.
Divorce is always an ugly affair.

I am your sister from Yemen, and by God I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I welcome Ramadan with lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By God Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By God Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By God, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God on the Book of God that I will not lie to you, nor deceive, nor deceive. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from Taiz. My family and I, Ait Al-Shahrb, have 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw…The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967772168484 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well.`/–~~« ««~~♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~~♡~♡~♕~♡~♡♡♡~~~~: ~: ~! ~! ~! ~;g.g.g.g.g.g.g.g.🎉.🎉.🎉.🎉..🎉.g.g.g.g.
