Vancouver, Washington  On July 30th, 2025, at approximately 10:41 p.m., a person called 911 to report that their son was armed with a gun and was going to kill them. The caller reported that their son had broken the front door of the home and was inside, was high on meth, and had been drinking. Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) deputies responded to assist the Vancouver Police Department near East 27th Street and H Street in Vancouver. As deputies responded, the caller reported that the subject left the home on a bicycle. At 10:47 p.m., a Vancouver Police Officer observed the subject on a bicycle riding on Columbia Street, then turning Southbound on Daniels Street.
Roughly 30 seconds later, a CCSO Deputy reported over the radio that the subject “still has gun on him.” Several minutes later, deputies located the subject near Main Street & E 19th Street in downtown Vancouver. At 10:51 p.m., an officer-involved shooting occurred. Law enforcement personnel provided first aid to the man. Medics pronounced the man deceased at the scene. No law enforcement or uninvolved parties were physically injured. The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the man as 36-year-old Branden Michael Whitcomb. Deputy Michael Gonzalez is now on Critical Incident Leave, per standard protocol.
Deputy Gonzalez was involved in two previous incidents where police shot suspects to death. In 2019, Gonzalez, then with Portland police, and another officer shot to death a man suspected of stabbing four people. A grand jury determined that the officers’ actions were justified. Gonzalez used his patrol car in 2021 to help stop a suspect fleeing in another car. The pursuit ended with two other deputies fatally shooting the suspect.

Head shot. Are cops trained to shoot in the head?
Why do cops always have 1 size too small for gloves? I always wore gloves in the big side as a medical first responder
Shoot first, ask questions later
The American police way
Hire Adults Again 😂
TIRED AND MAD TO SEE COPS MASSACRING SUSPECTS | I don't know why, but all I see are cops shooting to kill, not shooting to immobilize the suspect or to make the suspect surrender with one or just 2 shots most. I used to go to the range to practice and this can be done. But these cops I see all over YouTube go for the kill. They even say without shame, heart or remorse "I go lethal".
A waste of a good bicycle, sad 😢
I'm not a rocket scientist, but judging by the amount of blood there was when he was moved.. he is not going to answer into anything anytime again.
Thank you officer Gonzales for doing your job
Cop has a history of deadly use of force encounters. He's on a roll.
"yeah he's not really talking to us right now"
*square blur surrounded by blood*
Yeah, I can see that.
Gonzalez, you’re a king
Keep up the good work
Good Work. Take out the trash.
Meth rots the brain cells until inside the skull most of the cells are dead and rotted. Probably stinks to high heaven in there…
And guess where he got the gun? Yep, you guessed it: Mom is a gun nut and he got the gun from her couch!
Meth around and find out i guess
Fing keystone cops!
I read the title and thought, "Wow, why would you threaten a cop's parents??" Then I thought, "Wait, why is an on-duty officer with his parents? That's weird."
Turns out it was the suspect's parents. 🤦â€Â♂ï¸Â🤦â€Â♀ï¸Â🤦
Deputy Michael Gonzalez, saving taxpayers money over and over again.
That officer had a Sig320. He went to shake awake his red dot and the gun fired. Its a new feature
He took the sidewalk temperature challenge
Dude is dead , When the cop said F*** me it's just an act for when he goes to court .
Only in Americkkka
ðŸÂ·ðŸÂ·ðŸÂ·ðŸÂ·
They folded him like a blanket
So, they guy threatened the Deputies parents! He deservesd that!😂
Folded him up and ready to be sent on his way😂
Nothing of value lost there. They knew he was done, but have to go through the motions.
if u threaten any parental figure idgaf how bad they treat u i will send u a beating myself from god almighty and you will learn what its like to be loved may god strike those who down to take life from those that give amen in his name lord i plead to you
Officer is like, "his brains are hanging out of his skull so he's not really talking to us right now. We totally feel ignored and maybe a bit neglected. He's being such a dick. We really thought we had something special.". O.O
The way it's titled I thought the guy threatened the cops parents 😂
Great work deputies and officers. Thank you for your service and courage. Watch your six and make it home safe.
" he's not really responding to commands right now ". 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Listening to cops is a critical survival skill, but easy to accomplish.
Sure did seem peaceful there towards the end.
Good 🎉…. officer, dont worry
Head shot baby
It’s very sad when people’s choices in life, lead them down a dark spiral to the point of losing the precious gift of life that they’ve been given.
Sooooo, Officer Gonzales is a bad ass, tax saving hero.
I like this officer. Saving the tax payers money.
If the police say drop the gun. Might want to drop the gun. Took the sidewalk temperature challenge.
"I got lethal". Of course you do.
Welp. That's a headshot.
You're gonna get shot! You just got shot!
That Gonzalez cop killed 2 other suspects in the line of duty within the last 6 years. That’s 3 bodies since 2019. Just saying to see that much action in that amount of time is kinda nuts. I’ve heard of several cops retired after 30+ years with out even having to pull the trigger on anyone.
