A Topeka officer fired in self-defense after a 41-year-old woman, Jessica Treat, allegedly brandished a large knife and threatened multiple people before the shooting. The incident began when Treat’s car struck a fire hydrant after driving toward a disabled vehicle and its occupants. After exiting her car with the knife, she reportedly continued to threaten and swing the weapon at someone inside a nearby building. The officer responded with his service weapon, striking Treat — who later died at the scene. No one else was injured. The Topeka Police Department says the officer acted to protect a person inside the building, and body camera footage will be released in 30 days after investigations conclude. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is independently reviewing the case to determine the full sequence of events.
