Phoenix, Arizona — On April 1, 2023, Phoenix police officers received a call about a fight just after 7:10 p.m. at an apartment complex near 14th Street and Bell Road. The officers arrived and spoke to a man who wanted to get some belongings from an apartment. The officers knocked on the apartment door, but there was no answer. The apartment did not belong to the man, so officers provided him with options for the evening and they went back into service. About an hour later, officers received a second call from the same apartment complex. A woman told the 911 operator she was hiding in her bathroom after a man she knows had a gun and had broken the window to her apartment. Once officers arrived, they found the man from the previous call in the parking lot of the apartment complex. Officers gave him commands to show his hands and walk to the center of the parking lot. He responded by pulling a gun from a pouch on his belt.
Officers gave the man multiple commands to drop the gun then used a less-lethal tool known as a PepperBall Launcher to encourage the man to follow their directions. The PepperBall Launcher is a less-lethal tool issued to trained officers in patrol and the Tactical Support Bureau. The PepperBall launcher discharges projectiles filled with irritant powder that is designed to disrupt and disorient the intended target as well as deliver pain compliance. The man then walked into a parking stall, pointed the gun into the air, and fired one round. This was when the officer-involved shooting occurred. After shooting, the officers moved up and separated the gun from the man. Officers provided aid until the Phoenix Fire Department arrived. The man died on scene from his injuries. No other community members or officers were injured during this incident. The firearm used by the man was recovered on scene. The officers involved in this shooting have been with the department for 13, 6, and 2 years respectively and are assigned to the Black Mountain Precinct.

These cops actually seemed to have done all that they could to defuse a situation in which a man was already armed and didn't respond to beanbags or orders to comply. Great job officers but nevertheless this is very sad I must say.
Damn! Here’s some pepper to go with all that salt.
man officer 2 really wanted to shoot through a car window lol
Pour one out for that poor Rav4's window
Yeah, nice shoot’n Tex.
Mommie had her son wacked.
Another suicide by cop.
I think that the police officers did their job by the book. Gave the man enough warnings, opportunities and no excessive shooting occurred.
Well. he DID drop it. I hope it's ok.
That was a suicide by cop. These clowns know better. That's why they do it.
Bad marksmanship with a dangerous backstop. The window and A pillar could send it up into the homes. Hard spot. Definitely don't think it's incompetence, but they need more range drills.
the pepper balls were ineffective. I feel embarrassed for the officers who are forced to use such things. Seeing as how they never work, and they have to end up using lethal
For shooting in the air?
Video should be retitled “Phoenix police find cure for bipolar schizophreniaâ€
I was worried about how close the cop almost shot the other officer
wonder how he attained a firearm? things that make ya go hmm
LOL
That cops reaction time is insane.
They used less lethal, props. They gave the moron EVERY chance, before delivering lead freedom seeds. 🙂
That officer should consider a red dot after that one.
So much for AZ being a 2A State…This is what happens when a State turns BLUE from RED….
why bother with that pepper ball crap, obviously doesn't work
not justified.
This is what happens when you are stupid and make poor choices
Dang….pepperballs did jack sh!t except make him dusty.
Deploying paintball never ends good…
Awesome another weirdo gone..😂
RIP rear passenger car window😢
Stop using those progressive liberal toys!
Why do the cops have these ugly arm tattoos? It’s so white-trashy and disrespectful.
The cop at the end firing his weapon right behind the head of another. Idiot
Good for the Phoenix PD. The Pinal County Sheriff's Dept. Doesn't respond to calls like this. Seems that protecting the mentally ill is more important than protecting women. Or they"re afraid of the situation.
The diagnosis for someone who has the characteristics of both schizophrenia (delusions, hallucinations, paranoia etc) and a mood disorder (mania, bipolar with psychotic symptons) is schizoaffective.
Suicide by cop sad af
respect to all police thank you all for your service
"911 whats your emergeny" I NEED THE POLICE………….."WHATS YOUR ADDRESS" DAMMM CUT HER OFF!!!!
Friendly game of paintball turned deadly when police officer shot "The starter".
They gave him many opportunities to drop the gun. He essentially committed suicide.
The cop whose body cam we saw last should have either moved up next to his partner or lowered his weapon. A step or two to the left by his partner could've gotten him killed.
I love seeing white boys get the hammer 😅
Shooting out the car window was that little extra touch Phoenix Police always add to their service.
Man why do the police always aim for the balls? Yes it hurts, but they need to be hitting high center mass for the pepper balls to work.
You know that's why they did away with death by firing squad. They all aimed at some guys junk and basically blow his pelvis to pieces.
Now, someone bitch he died because of the cops!
