On July 14, 2023, 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat opened fire on a group of police officers who were responding to an unrelated traffic collision in Fargo, North Dakota. One officer was killed, and two others and a civilian bystander were injured, before Barakat was killed by another officer on the scene who was uninjured.

The gunman, identified as 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat, opened fire on police and firefighters as they responded to a traffic crash in Fargo last week, killing one officer and wounding two other officers and a woman at the scene before he was shot and killed by another police officer.

The gunman, 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat, shot and killed Fargo Police Officer Jake Wallin and wounded officers Andrew Dotas and Tyler Hawes as they responded to a routine traffic crash on July 14, authorities said.

North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley said at a Friday news conference that the suspect, 37-year-old Mohamad Barakat, launched the attack after observing officers investigating a routine traffic accident. Barakat, who was shot and killed by another police officer during the incident, was not involved in the traffic accident.
