Traffic Stop Leads to Armed Incident in Bellevue

On September 26, 2025, the Bellevue Marshal’s Office initiated a traffic stop at approximately 0925 hours at the intersection of Main Street and Cedar Street. While the officer was approaching the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle produced a firearm, causing a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Additional backup and medical were dispatched to the scene. The driver of the vehicle was transported by ambulance to St. Luke’s Medical Center for treatment of his injuries. The Bellevue Marshal’s Office would like everyone to know the area is secure and there is no threat to the public. We would like to thank Blaine County Emergency Communications Center, Blaine County Sheriff’s Office, Hailey PD, Hailey Fire, and Wood River Ambulance for their assistance. We also would like to express our thoughts and prayers to the family at this tragic time.
