On July 26, 2025, at approximately 1:00 AM, the Brown County Communication Center dispatched the City of De Pere Police Department to a welfare check of an armed subject at the Perkofski Boat Launch. Several officers responded to the scene and other local agencies including the Village of Ashwaubenon, the City of Green Bay, and the Brown County Sheriff's Office also responded. When officers arrived, they located a male with a rifle near the boat landing area. Law enforcement personnel gave the male (Scott) verbal commands to drop the weapon and walk back to them. Scott did not comply and fired a shot into the air before making suicidal comments. He was drinking and at one point urinated into the water. Officers spent about 25 minutes trying to negotiate with Scott and the Sheriff's Department arrived with a bearcat. Scott was shot with a pepperball round before he pointed his firearm towards officers. Three De Pere Police officers, and three Ashwaubenon Police officers discharged their firearms at Scott. He was struck by the gunfire and medical aid was provided by officers on scene and first responders from the City of De Pere Fire Department. Shortly later, Scott was pronounced deceased at the scene by a medical professional. No law enforcement officers or members of the public were injured during this incident.
