A wild scene ensued late last month when Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to an alleged armed kidnapping in progress. Police ended up rescuing a 7-year-old and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place in Florida on Nov. 26 after armed suspects allegedly entered a home. Police say the suspects then took several victims to a garage. They then tied the victims' hands, making them sit in the garage, according to a Volusia Sheriff's Office release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Volusia Sheriff's Deputies Save Kidnap Victims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deputies heard victims screaming in the garage upon arrival on the scene. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the wild scene. Footage shows several suspects seemingly attempt to flee the scene. But officers quickly apprehended each suspect without further incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers set up a perimeter before finally entering the home. Police say officers found a 7-year-old child hiding inside the house. Police carried her safely outside, returning her to her parents. Several victims suffered minor injuries during the ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police identified the suspects as Jermain Oliver, 30, John Anderson, 39, and Derrick Maathis, 32. Each man now faces multiple charges. Those charges include home invasion with a firearm, five counts of kidnapping while armed with a firearm, one count of kidnapping a child under 13 while armed with a firearm. Oliver and Mathis also face one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire scene occurred during the cover of darkness, with alleged armed victims running out into the open. The officers clearly handled what could have proven a deadly situation, taking the suspects into custody without incident.

The year 2020 has forced much social change. Among it, police behavior and activity faces scrutiny like never before. But we've seemingly entered an era when all police action, especially shootings, are presumed bad before any evidence comes to light. Such was the case following a recent fatal shooting of suspect Rodney Applewhite by a New Mexico State Police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rodney Applewhite Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pulled over the 25-year-old Applewhite on Nov. 19 near Los Lunas. Police claimed the suspect reached a speed of 93 mph, prompting the stop. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows two officers engage the suspect. And in the blink of an eye, the man goes for an officer's gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the two officers appear to calmly and cooly attempt to talk down Applewhite. One officer holsters his sidearm, letting the suspect know he wouldn't be hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need you to get down sir so we can put you in cuffs safely,\" the officer says. \"... Why are you running dude?\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Applewhite goes for an officer's gun. A scuffle ensues. In an instant, the officer fires two shots, putting the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such was the case following a recent fatal shooting of suspect Rodney Applewhite by a New Mexico State Police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rodney Applewhite Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pulled over the 25-year-old Applewhite on Nov. 19 near Los Lunas. Police claimed the suspect reached a speed of 93 mph, prompting the stop. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows two officers engage the suspect. And in the blink of an eye, the man goes for an officer's gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the two officers appear to calmly and cooly attempt to talk down Applewhite. One officer holsters his sidearm, letting the suspect know he wouldn't be hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need you to get down sir so we can put you in cuffs safely,\" the officer says. \"... Why are you running dude?\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Applewhite goes for an officer's gun. A scuffle ensues. In an instant, the officer fires two shots, putting the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fearing for the sergeant's life, New Mexico State Police Officer Gene Gonzales drew his duty weapon and fired two rounds in an attempt to stop the attack on the sergeant,\" said a police press release, reported krqe.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Outcry Over Shooting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Applewhite died later from his wounds at a local hospital, reported krqe.com<\/a>. The fatal shooting led to immediate protests from local civil rights group, loudly demanding more police transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community has a right to know what happened to Rodney,\u201d said Selinda Guerrero, a member of Building Power for Black New Mexico and Millions for Prisoners New Mexico, reported the Santa Fe New Mexican<\/em>. \u201cWe have a right to know, and transparency has not happened yet. [New Mexico State Police] have not revealed what happened to Rodney on the side of that rural highway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We're very saddened by state police's response,\" Guerrero continued. \"In particular that they they would lead with the headline that says 'suspect.' We understand that narratives such as this are intended to devalue our lives. We are even more disheartened that there is no indication of them taking responsibility or even a suggestion that a transparent investigation would happen.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since the state police released the body cam footage, the information paints an entirely different picture. Two officers approached their job calmly and professionally. And for some unknown reason, the suspect elected to go for a gun. Those action proved to deliver fatal consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It hurts so bad, man,\" Applewhite said, lying on the ground, according to krqe.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I know, man,\" said Officer Gonzales. \"Sorry dude, hey\u2013why did you go for the gun?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Because I thought that's what you're supposed to do,\" Applewhite replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No dude,\" Gonzales said. \"You're supposed to just get arrested bro.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot in New Mexico","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rodney-applewhite-new-mexico-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-19 11:55:40","post_modified_gmt":"2023-10-19 15:55:40","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/08\/rodney-applewhite-new-mexico-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125386,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-12-03 14:52:36","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-03 19:52:36","post_content":"\n

A wild scene ensued late last month when Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to an alleged armed kidnapping in progress. Police ended up rescuing a 7-year-old and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place in Florida on Nov. 26 after armed suspects allegedly entered a home. Police say the suspects then took several victims to a garage. They then tied the victims' hands, making them sit in the garage, according to a Volusia Sheriff's Office release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Volusia Sheriff's Deputies Save Kidnap Victims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deputies heard victims screaming in the garage upon arrival on the scene. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the wild scene. Footage shows several suspects seemingly attempt to flee the scene. But officers quickly apprehended each suspect without further incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers set up a perimeter before finally entering the home. Police say officers found a 7-year-old child hiding inside the house. Police carried her safely outside, returning her to her parents. Several victims suffered minor injuries during the ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police identified the suspects as Jermain Oliver, 30, John Anderson, 39, and Derrick Maathis, 32. Each man now faces multiple charges. Those charges include home invasion with a firearm, five counts of kidnapping while armed with a firearm, one count of kidnapping a child under 13 while armed with a firearm. Oliver and Mathis also face one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire scene occurred during the cover of darkness, with alleged armed victims running out into the open. The officers clearly handled what could have proven a deadly situation, taking the suspects into custody without incident. Well done. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Volusia Sheriff's Save Family From Home Invasion, Kidnapping","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/03\/volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

A wild scene ensued late last month when Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to an alleged armed kidnapping in progress. Police ended up rescuing a 7-year-old and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place in Florida on Nov. 26 after armed suspects allegedly entered a home. Police say the suspects then took several victims to a garage. They then tied the victims' hands, making them sit in the garage, according to a Volusia Sheriff's Office release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Volusia Sheriff's Deputies Save Kidnap Victims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deputies heard victims screaming in the garage upon arrival on the scene. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the wild scene. Footage shows several suspects seemingly attempt to flee the scene. But officers quickly apprehended each suspect without further incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers set up a perimeter before finally entering the home. Police say officers found a 7-year-old child hiding inside the house. Police carried her safely outside, returning her to her parents. Several victims suffered minor injuries during the ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police identified the suspects as Jermain Oliver, 30, John Anderson, 39, and Derrick Maathis, 32. Each man now faces multiple charges. Those charges include home invasion with a firearm, five counts of kidnapping while armed with a firearm, one count of kidnapping a child under 13 while armed with a firearm. Oliver and Mathis also face one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire scene occurred during the cover of darkness, with alleged armed victims running out into the open. The officers clearly handled what could have proven a deadly situation, taking the suspects into custody without incident. Well done. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Volusia Sheriff's Save Family From Home Invasion, Kidnapping","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/03\/volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

The incident began when deputies spotted 27-year-old Dylan Ray Scott in a parking lot outside a local McDonald's. Police wanted Scott for outstanding warrants. Footage shows Scott ignore commands, tearing out in his truck from the parking lot. He promptly crashes into an oncoming minivan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police pursue on foot, immediately commanding Scott show his hands. It's here where Scott allegedly claims he has a pistol. The next couple of minutes of footage shows Deputy Timothy Miskell pleading with Scott just to show his hands. He uses every tactic possible to get the suspect to comply. He says multiple times he doesn't want to shoot the man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We do not take anything personally and I do not want to shoot you, but if you don\u2019t show me your hands, that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen,\" the officer says. \"Put your hands up. Please don\u2019t make me do this.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Scott refuses to comply. He finally makes a move, appearing to reach for something. The officer opens fire in response. Scott received several gunshot wounds, killing him. Upon further investigation, officers found no gun in the truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year 2020 has forced much social change. Among it, police behavior and activity faces scrutiny like never before. But we've seemingly entered an era when all police action, especially shootings, are presumed bad before any evidence comes to light. Such was the case following a recent fatal shooting of suspect Rodney Applewhite by a New Mexico State Police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rodney Applewhite Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pulled over the 25-year-old Applewhite on Nov. 19 near Los Lunas. Police claimed the suspect reached a speed of 93 mph, prompting the stop. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows two officers engage the suspect. And in the blink of an eye, the man goes for an officer's gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the two officers appear to calmly and cooly attempt to talk down Applewhite. One officer holsters his sidearm, letting the suspect know he wouldn't be hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need you to get down sir so we can put you in cuffs safely,\" the officer says. \"... Why are you running dude?\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Applewhite goes for an officer's gun. A scuffle ensues. In an instant, the officer fires two shots, putting the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fearing for the sergeant's life, New Mexico State Police Officer Gene Gonzales drew his duty weapon and fired two rounds in an attempt to stop the attack on the sergeant,\" said a police press release, reported krqe.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Outcry Over Shooting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Applewhite died later from his wounds at a local hospital, reported krqe.com<\/a>. The fatal shooting led to immediate protests from local civil rights group, loudly demanding more police transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community has a right to know what happened to Rodney,\u201d said Selinda Guerrero, a member of Building Power for Black New Mexico and Millions for Prisoners New Mexico, reported the Santa Fe New Mexican<\/em>. \u201cWe have a right to know, and transparency has not happened yet.

Officers set up a perimeter before finally entering the home. Police say officers found a 7-year-old child hiding inside the house. Police carried her safely outside, returning her to her parents. Several victims suffered minor injuries during the ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police identified the suspects as Jermain Oliver, 30, John Anderson, 39, and Derrick Maathis, 32. Each man now faces multiple charges. Those charges include home invasion with a firearm, five counts of kidnapping while armed with a firearm, one count of kidnapping a child under 13 while armed with a firearm. Oliver and Mathis also face one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire scene occurred during the cover of darkness, with alleged armed victims running out into the open.

Without question, law enforcement officers sometimes face impossible situations. Such was the case for Hillsborough Deputy in Florida recently, when a suspect simply refused to comply.

The year 2020 has forced much social change. Among it, police behavior and activity faces scrutiny like never before. But we've seemingly entered an era when all police action, especially shootings, are presumed bad before any evidence comes to light. Such was the case following a recent fatal shooting of suspect Rodney Applewhite by a New Mexico State Police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rodney Applewhite Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pulled over the 25-year-old Applewhite on Nov. 19 near Los Lunas. Police claimed the suspect reached a speed of 93 mph, prompting the stop. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows two officers engage the suspect. And in the blink of an eye, the man goes for an officer's gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the two officers appear to calmly and cooly attempt to talk down Applewhite. One officer holsters his sidearm, letting the suspect know he wouldn't be hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need you to get down sir so we can put you in cuffs safely,\" the officer says. \"... Why are you running dude?\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Applewhite goes for an officer's gun. A scuffle ensues. In an instant, the officer fires two shots, putting the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fearing for the sergeant's life, New Mexico State Police Officer Gene Gonzales drew his duty weapon and fired two rounds in an attempt to stop the attack on the sergeant,\" said a police press release, reported krqe.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Outcry Over Shooting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Applewhite died later from his wounds at a local hospital, reported krqe.com<\/a>. The fatal shooting led to immediate protests from local civil rights group, loudly demanding more police transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community has a right to know what happened to Rodney,\u201d said Selinda Guerrero, a member of Building Power for Black New Mexico and Millions for Prisoners New Mexico, reported the Santa Fe New Mexican<\/em>. \u201cWe have a right to know, and transparency has not happened yet. [New Mexico State Police] have not revealed what happened to Rodney on the side of that rural highway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We're very saddened by state police's response,\" Guerrero continued. \"In particular that they they would lead with the headline that says 'suspect.' We understand that narratives such as this are intended to devalue our lives. We are even more disheartened that there is no indication of them taking responsibility or even a suggestion that a transparent investigation would happen.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year 2020 has forced much social change. Among it, police behavior and activity faces scrutiny like never before. But we've seemingly entered an era when all police action, especially shootings, are presumed bad before any evidence comes to light. Such was the case following a recent fatal shooting of suspect Rodney Applewhite by a New Mexico State Police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rodney Applewhite Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pulled over the 25-year-old Applewhite on Nov. 19 near Los Lunas. Police claimed the suspect reached a speed of 93 mph, prompting the stop. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows two officers engage the suspect. And in the blink of an eye, the man goes for an officer's gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the two officers appear to calmly and cooly attempt to talk down Applewhite. One officer holsters his sidearm, letting the suspect know he wouldn't be hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need you to get down sir so we can put you in cuffs safely,\" the officer says. \"... Why are you running dude?\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Applewhite goes for an officer's gun. A scuffle ensues. In an instant, the officer fires two shots, putting the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fearing for the sergeant's life, New Mexico State Police Officer Gene Gonzales drew his duty weapon and fired two rounds in an attempt to stop the attack on the sergeant,\" said a police press release, reported krqe.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Outcry Over Shooting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Applewhite died later from his wounds at a local hospital, reported krqe.com<\/a>. The fatal shooting led to immediate protests from local civil rights group, loudly demanding more police transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community has a right to know what happened to Rodney,\u201d said Selinda Guerrero, a member of Building Power for Black New Mexico and Millions for Prisoners New Mexico, reported the Santa Fe New Mexican<\/em>. \u201cWe have a right to know, and transparency has not happened yet.

\"We're very saddened by state police's response,\" Guerrero continued. \"In particular that they they would lead with the headline that says 'suspect.' We understand that narratives such as this are intended to devalue our lives. We are even more disheartened that there is no indication of them taking responsibility or even a suggestion that a transparent investigation would happen.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since the state police released the body cam footage, the information paints an entirely different picture. Two officers approached their job calmly and professionally.

\"It hurts so bad, man,\" Applewhite said, lying on the ground, according to krqe.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I know, man,\" said Officer Gonzales. \"Sorry dude, hey\u2013why did you go for the gun?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wild scene ensued late last month when Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to an alleged armed kidnapping in progress. Police ended up rescuing a 7-year-old and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place in Florida on Nov. 26 after armed suspects allegedly entered a home. Police say the suspects then took several victims to a garage. They then tied the victims' hands, making them sit in the garage, according to a Volusia Sheriff's Office release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Volusia Sheriff's Deputies Save Kidnap Victims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deputies heard victims screaming in the garage upon arrival on the scene. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the wild scene. Footage shows several suspects seemingly attempt to flee the scene. But officers quickly apprehended each suspect without further incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers set up a perimeter before finally entering the home. Police say officers found a 7-year-old child hiding inside the house. Police carried her safely outside, returning her to her parents. Several victims suffered minor injuries during the ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police identified the suspects as Jermain Oliver, 30, John Anderson, 39, and Derrick Maathis, 32. Each man now faces multiple charges. Those charges include home invasion with a firearm, five counts of kidnapping while armed with a firearm, one count of kidnapping a child under 13 while armed with a firearm. Oliver and Mathis also face one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire scene occurred during the cover of darkness, with alleged armed victims running out into the open. The officers clearly handled what could have proven a deadly situation, taking the suspects into custody without incident. Well done. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Volusia Sheriff's Save Family From Home Invasion, Kidnapping","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/03\/volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Without question, law enforcement officers sometimes face impossible situations. Such was the case for Hillsborough Deputy in Florida recently, when a suspect simply refused to comply. Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the suspect appear to go for a gun, prompting officers to open fire, ultimately killing the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hillsborough Deputy Begs Suspect to Show Hands Before Firing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when deputies spotted 27-year-old Dylan Ray Scott in a parking lot outside a local McDonald's. Police wanted Scott for outstanding warrants. Footage shows Scott ignore commands, tearing out in his truck from the parking lot. He promptly crashes into an oncoming minivan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police pursue on foot, immediately commanding Scott show his hands. It's here where Scott allegedly claims he has a pistol. The next couple of minutes of footage shows Deputy Timothy Miskell pleading with Scott just to show his hands. He uses every tactic possible to get the suspect to comply. He says multiple times he doesn't want to shoot the man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We do not take anything personally and I do not want to shoot you, but if you don\u2019t show me your hands, that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen,\" the officer says. \"Put your hands up. Please don\u2019t make me do this.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Scott refuses to comply. He finally makes a move, appearing to reach for something. The officer opens fire in response. Scott received several gunshot wounds, killing him. Upon further investigation, officers found no gun in the truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wild scene ensued late last month when Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to an alleged armed kidnapping in progress. Police ended up rescuing a 7-year-old and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place in Florida on Nov. 26 after armed suspects allegedly entered a home. Police say the suspects then took several victims to a garage. They then tied the victims' hands, making them sit in the garage, according to a Volusia Sheriff's Office release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Volusia Sheriff's Deputies Save Kidnap Victims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deputies heard victims screaming in the garage upon arrival on the scene. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the wild scene. Footage shows several suspects seemingly attempt to flee the scene. But officers quickly apprehended each suspect without further incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers set up a perimeter before finally entering the home. Police say officers found a 7-year-old child hiding inside the house. Police carried her safely outside, returning her to her parents. Several victims suffered minor injuries during the ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police identified the suspects as Jermain Oliver, 30, John Anderson, 39, and Derrick Maathis, 32. Each man now faces multiple charges. Those charges include home invasion with a firearm, five counts of kidnapping while armed with a firearm, one count of kidnapping a child under 13 while armed with a firearm. Oliver and Mathis also face one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire scene occurred during the cover of darkness, with alleged armed victims running out into the open. The officers clearly handled what could have proven a deadly situation, taking the suspects into custody without incident. Well done. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Volusia Sheriff's Save Family From Home Invasion, Kidnapping","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/03\/volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Sharif's attorney, Brian Michaels, viewed the footage. Despite the overwhelming evidence, he categorized the shooting emblematic as part of a systemic problem in law enforcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"If they tased him to get him to drop the knife after they shot him, why didn't they tase him to get him to drop the knife before they shot him?\" Michaels told The Register-Guard<\/em>. \"This kind of lethal force is an epidemic around the county.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call for help. A victim reportedly sent a text message alleging \"He beat me up. He's here,\" reported the Register-Guard. The woman was a recent victim from a previous incident, when Sharif violated a restraining order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police then found Sharif, and the suspect attempted to fee. He reportedly yelled \"I will kill you\" during the chase while armed with a knife, reported The Register-Guard<\/em>. Footage shows Eugene Police finally corner the suspect, leading to his attempted attack and the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharif took rounds to the upper left chest and left hip. Still holding the knife when he went down, officers used a Taser to then subdue the suspect.

Without question, law enforcement officers sometimes face impossible situations. Such was the case for Hillsborough Deputy in Florida recently, when a suspect simply refused to comply. Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the suspect appear to go for a gun, prompting officers to open fire, ultimately killing the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hillsborough Deputy Begs Suspect to Show Hands Before Firing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when deputies spotted 27-year-old Dylan Ray Scott in a parking lot outside a local McDonald's. Police wanted Scott for outstanding warrants. Footage shows Scott ignore commands, tearing out in his truck from the parking lot. He promptly crashes into an oncoming minivan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police pursue on foot, immediately commanding Scott show his hands. It's here where Scott allegedly claims he has a pistol. The next couple of minutes of footage shows Deputy Timothy Miskell pleading with Scott just to show his hands. He uses every tactic possible to get the suspect to comply. He says multiple times he doesn't want to shoot the man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We do not take anything personally and I do not want to shoot you, but if you don\u2019t show me your hands, that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen,\" the officer says. \"Put your hands up. Please don\u2019t make me do this.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Scott refuses to comply. He finally makes a move, appearing to reach for something. The officer opens fire in response. Scott received several gunshot wounds, killing him. Upon further investigation, officers found no gun in the truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The deputies did an absolutely textbook job of trying to get him to surrender himself, stopping short of begging him not to reach for this firearm that he said that he had,\" Sheriff Chad Chronister said told the Tampa Bay Times<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Scott \u201ctakes that overt action to reach toward the firearm where he said (it) was located, and the deputies opened fire,\" Chronister added. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Deputy Begs Suspect to Show Hands Before Fatal Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hillsborough-dylan-ray-scott-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/11\/hillsborough-dylan-ray-scott-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125366,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-12-08 11:11:29","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-08 16:11:29","post_content":"\n

The year 2020 has forced much social change. Among it, police behavior and activity faces scrutiny like never before. But we've seemingly entered an era when all police action, especially shootings, are presumed bad before any evidence comes to light. Such was the case following a recent fatal shooting of suspect Rodney Applewhite by a New Mexico State Police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rodney Applewhite Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pulled over the 25-year-old Applewhite on Nov. 19 near Los Lunas. Police claimed the suspect reached a speed of 93 mph, prompting the stop. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows two officers engage the suspect. And in the blink of an eye, the man goes for an officer's gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the two officers appear to calmly and cooly attempt to talk down Applewhite. One officer holsters his sidearm, letting the suspect know he wouldn't be hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need you to get down sir so we can put you in cuffs safely,\" the officer says. \"... Why are you running dude?\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Applewhite goes for an officer's gun. A scuffle ensues. In an instant, the officer fires two shots, putting the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fearing for the sergeant's life, New Mexico State Police Officer Gene Gonzales drew his duty weapon and fired two rounds in an attempt to stop the attack on the sergeant,\" said a police press release, reported krqe.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Outcry Over Shooting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Applewhite died later from his wounds at a local hospital, reported krqe.com<\/a>. The fatal shooting led to immediate protests from local civil rights group, loudly demanding more police transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community has a right to know what happened to Rodney,\u201d said Selinda Guerrero, a member of Building Power for Black New Mexico and Millions for Prisoners New Mexico, reported the Santa Fe New Mexican<\/em>. \u201cWe have a right to know, and transparency has not happened yet. [New Mexico State Police] have not revealed what happened to Rodney on the side of that rural highway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We're very saddened by state police's response,\" Guerrero continued. \"In particular that they they would lead with the headline that says 'suspect.' We understand that narratives such as this are intended to devalue our lives. We are even more disheartened that there is no indication of them taking responsibility or even a suggestion that a transparent investigation would happen.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since the state police released the body cam footage, the information paints an entirely different picture. Two officers approached their job calmly and professionally. And for some unknown reason, the suspect elected to go for a gun. Those action proved to deliver fatal consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It hurts so bad, man,\" Applewhite said, lying on the ground, according to krqe.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I know, man,\" said Officer Gonzales. \"Sorry dude, hey\u2013why did you go for the gun?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharif's attorney, Brian Michaels, viewed the footage. Despite the overwhelming evidence, he categorized the shooting emblematic as part of a systemic problem in law enforcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"If they tased him to get him to drop the knife after they shot him, why didn't they tase him to get him to drop the knife before they shot him?\" Michaels told The Register-Guard<\/em>. \"This kind of lethal force is an epidemic around the county.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call for help. A victim reportedly sent a text message alleging \"He beat me up. He's here,\" reported the Register-Guard. The woman was a recent victim from a previous incident, when Sharif violated a restraining order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police then found Sharif, and the suspect attempted to fee. He reportedly yelled \"I will kill you\" during the chase while armed with a knife, reported The Register-Guard<\/em>. Footage shows Eugene Police finally corner the suspect, leading to his attempted attack and the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharif took rounds to the upper left chest and left hip. Still holding the knife when he went down, officers used a Taser to then subdue the suspect. Officials transported Sharif to a local hospital for treatment.

Without question, law enforcement officers sometimes face impossible situations. Such was the case for Hillsborough Deputy in Florida recently, when a suspect simply refused to comply. Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the suspect appear to go for a gun, prompting officers to open fire, ultimately killing the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hillsborough Deputy Begs Suspect to Show Hands Before Firing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when deputies spotted 27-year-old Dylan Ray Scott in a parking lot outside a local McDonald's. Police wanted Scott for outstanding warrants. Footage shows Scott ignore commands, tearing out in his truck from the parking lot. He promptly crashes into an oncoming minivan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police pursue on foot, immediately commanding Scott show his hands. It's here where Scott allegedly claims he has a pistol. The next couple of minutes of footage shows Deputy Timothy Miskell pleading with Scott just to show his hands. He uses every tactic possible to get the suspect to comply. He says multiple times he doesn't want to shoot the man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We do not take anything personally and I do not want to shoot you, but if you don\u2019t show me your hands, that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen,\" the officer says. \"Put your hands up. Please don\u2019t make me do this.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Scott refuses to comply. He finally makes a move, appearing to reach for something. The officer opens fire in response. Scott received several gunshot wounds, killing him. Upon further investigation, officers found no gun in the truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The deputies did an absolutely textbook job of trying to get him to surrender himself, stopping short of begging him not to reach for this firearm that he said that he had,\" Sheriff Chad Chronister said told the Tampa Bay Times<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Scott \u201ctakes that overt action to reach toward the firearm where he said (it) was located, and the deputies opened fire,\" Chronister added. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Deputy Begs Suspect to Show Hands Before Fatal Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hillsborough-dylan-ray-scott-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/11\/hillsborough-dylan-ray-scott-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125366,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-12-08 11:11:29","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-08 16:11:29","post_content":"\n

The year 2020 has forced much social change. Among it, police behavior and activity faces scrutiny like never before. But we've seemingly entered an era when all police action, especially shootings, are presumed bad before any evidence comes to light. Such was the case following a recent fatal shooting of suspect Rodney Applewhite by a New Mexico State Police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rodney Applewhite Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pulled over the 25-year-old Applewhite on Nov. 19 near Los Lunas. Police claimed the suspect reached a speed of 93 mph, prompting the stop. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows two officers engage the suspect. And in the blink of an eye, the man goes for an officer's gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the two officers appear to calmly and cooly attempt to talk down Applewhite. One officer holsters his sidearm, letting the suspect know he wouldn't be hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need you to get down sir so we can put you in cuffs safely,\" the officer says. \"... Why are you running dude?\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Applewhite goes for an officer's gun. A scuffle ensues. In an instant, the officer fires two shots, putting the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fearing for the sergeant's life, New Mexico State Police Officer Gene Gonzales drew his duty weapon and fired two rounds in an attempt to stop the attack on the sergeant,\" said a police press release, reported krqe.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Outcry Over Shooting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Applewhite died later from his wounds at a local hospital, reported krqe.com<\/a>. The fatal shooting led to immediate protests from local civil rights group, loudly demanding more police transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community has a right to know what happened to Rodney,\u201d said Selinda Guerrero, a member of Building Power for Black New Mexico and Millions for Prisoners New Mexico, reported the Santa Fe New Mexican<\/em>. \u201cWe have a right to know, and transparency has not happened yet. [New Mexico State Police] have not revealed what happened to Rodney on the side of that rural highway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We're very saddened by state police's response,\" Guerrero continued. \"In particular that they they would lead with the headline that says 'suspect.' We understand that narratives such as this are intended to devalue our lives. We are even more disheartened that there is no indication of them taking responsibility or even a suggestion that a transparent investigation would happen.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since the state police released the body cam footage, the information paints an entirely different picture. Two officers approached their job calmly and professionally. And for some unknown reason, the suspect elected to go for a gun. Those action proved to deliver fatal consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It hurts so bad, man,\" Applewhite said, lying on the ground, according to krqe.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I know, man,\" said Officer Gonzales. \"Sorry dude, hey\u2013why did you go for the gun?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Because I thought that's what you're supposed to do,\" Applewhite replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No dude,\" Gonzales said. \"You're supposed to just get arrested bro.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot in New Mexico","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rodney-applewhite-new-mexico-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-10-19 11:55:40","post_modified_gmt":"2023-10-19 15:55:40","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/08\/rodney-applewhite-new-mexico-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125386,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-12-03 14:52:36","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-03 19:52:36","post_content":"\n

A wild scene ensued late last month when Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to an alleged armed kidnapping in progress. Police ended up rescuing a 7-year-old and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place in Florida on Nov. 26 after armed suspects allegedly entered a home. Police say the suspects then took several victims to a garage. They then tied the victims' hands, making them sit in the garage, according to a Volusia Sheriff's Office release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Volusia Sheriff's Deputies Save Kidnap Victims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deputies heard victims screaming in the garage upon arrival on the scene. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the wild scene. Footage shows several suspects seemingly attempt to flee the scene. But officers quickly apprehended each suspect without further incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers set up a perimeter before finally entering the home. Police say officers found a 7-year-old child hiding inside the house. Police carried her safely outside, returning her to her parents. Several victims suffered minor injuries during the ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police identified the suspects as Jermain Oliver, 30, John Anderson, 39, and Derrick Maathis, 32. Each man now faces multiple charges. Those charges include home invasion with a firearm, five counts of kidnapping while armed with a firearm, one count of kidnapping a child under 13 while armed with a firearm. Oliver and Mathis also face one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire scene occurred during the cover of darkness, with alleged armed victims running out into the open. The officers clearly handled what could have proven a deadly situation, taking the suspects into custody without incident. Well done. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Volusia Sheriff's Save Family From Home Invasion, Kidnapping","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/03\/volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

A Eugene Police officer shot a suspect who charged him with a knife Nov. 30 in Oregon. The suspect, identified as Muhsin Sharif, ignored multiple commands to \"drop the knife,\" then made an aggressive advance on the officer, prompting the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident began when deputies spotted 27-year-old Dylan Ray Scott in a parking lot outside a local McDonald's. Police wanted Scott for outstanding warrants. Footage shows Scott ignore commands, tearing out in his truck from the parking lot. He promptly crashes into an oncoming minivan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police pursue on foot, immediately commanding Scott show his hands. It's here where Scott allegedly claims he has a pistol. The next couple of minutes of footage shows Deputy Timothy Miskell pleading with Scott just to show his hands. He uses every tactic possible to get the suspect to comply. He says multiple times he doesn't want to shoot the man. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We do not take anything personally and I do not want to shoot you, but if you don\u2019t show me your hands, that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna happen,\" the officer says. \"Put your hands up. Please don\u2019t make me do this.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, Scott refuses to comply. He finally makes a move, appearing to reach for something. The officer opens fire in response. Scott received several gunshot wounds, killing him. Upon further investigation, officers found no gun in the truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The deputies did an absolutely textbook job of trying to get him to surrender himself, stopping short of begging him not to reach for this firearm that he said that he had,\" Sheriff Chad Chronister said told the Tampa Bay Times<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Scott \u201ctakes that overt action to reach toward the firearm where he said (it) was located, and the deputies opened fire,\" Chronister added. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Deputy Begs Suspect to Show Hands Before Fatal Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hillsborough-dylan-ray-scott-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:12","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/11\/hillsborough-dylan-ray-scott-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125366,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-12-08 11:11:29","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-08 16:11:29","post_content":"\n

The year 2020 has forced much social change. Among it, police behavior and activity faces scrutiny like never before. But we've seemingly entered an era when all police action, especially shootings, are presumed bad before any evidence comes to light. Such was the case following a recent fatal shooting of suspect Rodney Applewhite by a New Mexico State Police officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rodney Applewhite Goes for Officer's Gun, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Police pulled over the 25-year-old Applewhite on Nov. 19 near Los Lunas. Police claimed the suspect reached a speed of 93 mph, prompting the stop. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows two officers engage the suspect. And in the blink of an eye, the man goes for an officer's gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows the two officers appear to calmly and cooly attempt to talk down Applewhite. One officer holsters his sidearm, letting the suspect know he wouldn't be hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We need you to get down sir so we can put you in cuffs safely,\" the officer says. \"... Why are you running dude?\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Applewhite goes for an officer's gun. A scuffle ensues. In an instant, the officer fires two shots, putting the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fearing for the sergeant's life, New Mexico State Police Officer Gene Gonzales drew his duty weapon and fired two rounds in an attempt to stop the attack on the sergeant,\" said a police press release, reported krqe.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public Outcry Over Shooting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Applewhite died later from his wounds at a local hospital, reported krqe.com<\/a>. The fatal shooting led to immediate protests from local civil rights group, loudly demanding more police transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe community has a right to know what happened to Rodney,\u201d said Selinda Guerrero, a member of Building Power for Black New Mexico and Millions for Prisoners New Mexico, reported the Santa Fe New Mexican<\/em>. \u201cWe have a right to know, and transparency has not happened yet. [New Mexico State Police] have not revealed what happened to Rodney on the side of that rural highway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We're very saddened by state police's response,\" Guerrero continued. \"In particular that they they would lead with the headline that says 'suspect.' We understand that narratives such as this are intended to devalue our lives. We are even more disheartened that there is no indication of them taking responsibility or even a suggestion that a transparent investigation would happen.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since the state police released the body cam footage, the information paints an entirely different picture. Two officers approached their job calmly and professionally. And for some unknown reason, the suspect elected to go for a gun. Those action proved to deliver fatal consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It hurts so bad, man,\" Applewhite said, lying on the ground, according to krqe.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I know, man,\" said Officer Gonzales. \"Sorry dude, hey\u2013why did you go for the gun?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Because I thought that's what you're supposed to do,\" Applewhite replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wild scene ensued late last month when Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to an alleged armed kidnapping in progress. Police ended up rescuing a 7-year-old and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place in Florida on Nov. 26 after armed suspects allegedly entered a home. Police say the suspects then took several victims to a garage. They then tied the victims' hands, making them sit in the garage, according to a Volusia Sheriff's Office release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Volusia Sheriff's Deputies Save Kidnap Victims<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deputies heard victims screaming in the garage upon arrival on the scene. Officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the wild scene. Footage shows several suspects seemingly attempt to flee the scene. But officers quickly apprehended each suspect without further incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers set up a perimeter before finally entering the home. Police say officers found a 7-year-old child hiding inside the house. Police carried her safely outside, returning her to her parents. Several victims suffered minor injuries during the ordeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police identified the suspects as Jermain Oliver, 30, John Anderson, 39, and Derrick Maathis, 32. Each man now faces multiple charges. Those charges include home invasion with a firearm, five counts of kidnapping while armed with a firearm, one count of kidnapping a child under 13 while armed with a firearm. Oliver and Mathis also face one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire scene occurred during the cover of darkness, with alleged armed victims running out into the open. The officers clearly handled what could have proven a deadly situation, taking the suspects into custody without incident. Well done. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Volusia Sheriff's Save Family From Home Invasion, Kidnapping","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/03\/volusia-sheriffs-kidnap-victims\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

A Eugene Police officer shot a suspect who charged him with a knife Nov. 30 in Oregon. The suspect, identified as Muhsin Sharif, ignored multiple commands to \"drop the knife,\" then made an aggressive advance on the officer, prompting the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Muhsin Sharif Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows the incident in detail. The Lane County District Attorney's Office released the footage as it proclaimed the officer's action a lawful use of force, according to The Register-Guard<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Based upon the interviews of the eye and ear witnesses, and the video evidence, the use of deadly force by Officers Trullinger and Rankin was a lawful response to the use of deadly force by Muhsin Sharif against the officers,\" said District Attorney Patty Perlow told The Register-Guard<\/em>. \"Sharif was closing in on Officer Trullinger with the knife raised when both officers fired their weapons.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharif's attorney, Brian Michaels, viewed the footage. Despite the overwhelming evidence, he categorized the shooting emblematic as part of a systemic problem in law enforcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"If they tased him to get him to drop the knife after they shot him, why didn't they tase him to get him to drop the knife before they shot him?\" Michaels told The Register-Guard<\/em>. \"This kind of lethal force is an epidemic around the county.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call for help. A victim reportedly sent a text message alleging \"He beat me up. He's here,\" reported the Register-Guard. The woman was a recent victim from a previous incident, when Sharif violated a restraining order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police then found Sharif, and the suspect attempted to fee. He reportedly yelled \"I will kill you\" during the chase while armed with a knife, reported The Register-Guard<\/em>. Footage shows Eugene Police finally corner the suspect, leading to his attempted attack and the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharif took rounds to the upper left chest and left hip. Still holding the knife when he went down, officers used a Taser to then subdue the suspect. Officials transported Sharif to a local hospital for treatment. He now faces four felony charges, including allegedly strangling a woman, reported The Register-Guard<\/em>. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Eugene Police Shoot, Stop Wild Knife Attacker in Oregon","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"eugene-police-muhsin-sharif-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-20 13:47:27","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-20 18:47:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2020\/12\/16\/eugene-police-muhsin-sharif-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125342,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2020-12-11 02:35:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-12-11 07:35:00","post_content":"\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist.

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist.

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training.

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist.

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges.

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist. He was motioning with his hand to ask the guy to roll down his window, to ask him what the problem was.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shot 6 Times, Returns 13 Shots and Wins Gunfight","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/05\/brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist. He was motioning with his hand to ask the guy to roll down his window, to ask him what the problem was.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shot 6 Times, Returns 13 Shots and Wins Gunfight","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/05\/brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply.

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>.

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist. He was motioning with his hand to ask the guy to roll down his window, to ask him what the problem was.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shot 6 Times, Returns 13 Shots and Wins Gunfight","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/05\/brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

The incident began when police responded to a call of a neighbor armed and threatening violence. Neighbors alleged a man broke into their apartment, punching a woman in the face. When the man in the apartment attempted to intervene, they further alleged the suspect pulled out a handgun and threatened to kill them, reported the Farmington Daily Times<\/em><\/a>. The man reportedly pulled a knife, prompting the suspect to leave. But not before he allegedly punched the woman a second time when she stepped outside the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist. He was motioning with his hand to ask the guy to roll down his window, to ask him what the problem was.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shot 6 Times, Returns 13 Shots and Wins Gunfight","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/05\/brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Farmington Police encountered a wild standoff recently that included a barricaded suspect doused in gasoline, who ultimately hurled a Molotov cocktail toward officers. The incident took place Jan. 20 in New Mexico, with officers finally opening fire and putting down the dangerous suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Suspect Hurls Molotov Cocktail at Farmington Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a neighbor armed and threatening violence. Neighbors alleged a man broke into their apartment, punching a woman in the face. When the man in the apartment attempted to intervene, they further alleged the suspect pulled out a handgun and threatened to kill them, reported the Farmington Daily Times<\/em><\/a>. The man reportedly pulled a knife, prompting the suspect to leave. But not before he allegedly punched the woman a second time when she stepped outside the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist.

Farmington Police encountered a wild standoff recently that included a barricaded suspect doused in gasoline, who ultimately hurled a Molotov cocktail toward officers. The incident took place Jan. 20 in New Mexico, with officers finally opening fire and putting down the dangerous suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Suspect Hurls Molotov Cocktail at Farmington Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a neighbor armed and threatening violence. Neighbors alleged a man broke into their apartment, punching a woman in the face. When the man in the apartment attempted to intervene, they further alleged the suspect pulled out a handgun and threatened to kill them, reported the Farmington Daily Times<\/em><\/a>. The man reportedly pulled a knife, prompting the suspect to leave. But not before he allegedly punched the woman a second time when she stepped outside the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>.

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist. He was motioning with his hand to ask the guy to roll down his window, to ask him what the problem was.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shot 6 Times, Returns 13 Shots and Wins Gunfight","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/05\/brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

As one officer goes down, her partner opens fire. Footage<\/a> shows the officer and three range employees engage the suspect, fatally striking him. Authorities pronounced Payton dead at the scene, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police reported the officer fired nine rounds, without knowing how many times the officer struck the suspect, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.

Farmington Police encountered a wild standoff recently that included a barricaded suspect doused in gasoline, who ultimately hurled a Molotov cocktail toward officers.

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist.

That's when the scene deteriorated rapidly. Footage shows officers attempt to grab the suspect several times. The suspect pulls away, finally pulling a screwdriver and attacking the officers. Footage shows him violently stab one officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one officer goes down, her partner opens fire. Footage<\/a> shows the officer and three range employees engage the suspect, fatally striking him. Authorities pronounced Payton dead at the scene, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police reported the officer fired nine rounds, without knowing how many times the officer struck the suspect, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. However, they did say the suspect received 14 gunshot wounds. So it's clear the gun range workers made a dramatic difference in the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite suffering a fracture near her eye, the injured officer was treated and released from a local hospital, the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Vegas Police, Gun Range Workers Fatally Shoot Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"marvon-payton-attacks-officer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/11\/marvon-payton-attacks-officer\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125058,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-02-08 12:14:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 17:14:50","post_content":"\n

Farmington Police encountered a wild standoff recently that included a barricaded suspect doused in gasoline, who ultimately hurled a Molotov cocktail toward officers. The incident took place Jan. 20 in New Mexico, with officers finally opening fire and putting down the dangerous suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Suspect Hurls Molotov Cocktail at Farmington Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a neighbor armed and threatening violence. Neighbors alleged a man broke into their apartment, punching a woman in the face. When the man in the apartment attempted to intervene, they further alleged the suspect pulled out a handgun and threatened to kill them, reported the Farmington Daily Times<\/em><\/a>. The man reportedly pulled a knife, prompting the suspect to leave. But not before he allegedly punched the woman a second time when she stepped outside the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist. He was motioning with his hand to ask the guy to roll down his window, to ask him what the problem was.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shot 6 Times, Returns 13 Shots and Wins Gunfight","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/05\/brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

So employees escorted Payton from the building. He then allegedly became aggressive, threatening range\/store employees, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. When officers spotted Payton in the parking lot, they ordered him to the front a patrol car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Payton ignored those instructions and started to walk away while hiding his right hand in his jacket pocket,\u201d Zimmerman said, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmington Police encountered a wild standoff recently that included a barricaded suspect doused in gasoline, who ultimately hurled a Molotov cocktail toward officers. The incident took place Jan. 20 in New Mexico, with officers finally opening fire and putting down the dangerous suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Suspect Hurls Molotov Cocktail at Farmington Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a neighbor armed and threatening violence. Neighbors alleged a man broke into their apartment, punching a woman in the face. When the man in the apartment attempted to intervene, they further alleged the suspect pulled out a handgun and threatened to kill them, reported the Farmington Daily Times<\/em><\/a>. The man reportedly pulled a knife, prompting the suspect to leave. But not before he allegedly punched the woman a second time when she stepped outside the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist. He was motioning with his hand to ask the guy to roll down his window, to ask him what the problem was.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shot 6 Times, Returns 13 Shots and Wins Gunfight","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/05\/brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Police, Gun Range Workers Fatally Shoot Marvon Payton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call to the gun range. The call described a man allegedly rifling through a customer's bag during a break for a concealed carry course, reported Las Vegas Review-Journal. Footage shows Payton seemingly going through a backpack under a table. Another man approaches, visibly disturbed at the man going through the bag. Police say Payton attempted to steal a gun from the backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So employees escorted Payton from the building. He then allegedly became aggressive, threatening range\/store employees, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. When officers spotted Payton in the parking lot, they ordered him to the front a patrol car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Payton ignored those instructions and started to walk away while hiding his right hand in his jacket pocket,\u201d Zimmerman said, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's when the scene deteriorated rapidly. Footage shows officers attempt to grab the suspect several times. The suspect pulls away, finally pulling a screwdriver and attacking the officers. Footage shows him violently stab one officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one officer goes down, her partner opens fire. Footage<\/a> shows the officer and three range employees engage the suspect, fatally striking him. Authorities pronounced Payton dead at the scene, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police reported the officer fired nine rounds, without knowing how many times the officer struck the suspect, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. However, they did say the suspect received 14 gunshot wounds. So it's clear the gun range workers made a dramatic difference in the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite suffering a fracture near her eye, the injured officer was treated and released from a local hospital, the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Vegas Police, Gun Range Workers Fatally Shoot Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"marvon-payton-attacks-officer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/11\/marvon-payton-attacks-officer\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125058,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-02-08 12:14:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 17:14:50","post_content":"\n

Farmington Police encountered a wild standoff recently that included a barricaded suspect doused in gasoline, who ultimately hurled a Molotov cocktail toward officers. The incident took place Jan. 20 in New Mexico, with officers finally opening fire and putting down the dangerous suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Suspect Hurls Molotov Cocktail at Farmington Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a neighbor armed and threatening violence. Neighbors alleged a man broke into their apartment, punching a woman in the face. When the man in the apartment attempted to intervene, they further alleged the suspect pulled out a handgun and threatened to kill them, reported the Farmington Daily Times<\/em><\/a>. The man reportedly pulled a knife, prompting the suspect to leave. But not before he allegedly punched the woman a second time when she stepped outside the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel.

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist.

\"Their involvement actually helped our officer and could have saved our officer\u2019s life,\u201d Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Brett Zimmerman said Monday during a news conference on the shooting, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police, Gun Range Workers Fatally Shoot Marvon Payton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call to the gun range. The call described a man allegedly rifling through a customer's bag during a break for a concealed carry course, reported Las Vegas Review-Journal. Footage shows Payton seemingly going through a backpack under a table. Another man approaches, visibly disturbed at the man going through the bag. Police say Payton attempted to steal a gun from the backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So employees escorted Payton from the building. He then allegedly became aggressive, threatening range\/store employees, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. When officers spotted Payton in the parking lot, they ordered him to the front a patrol car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Payton ignored those instructions and started to walk away while hiding his right hand in his jacket pocket,\u201d Zimmerman said, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's when the scene deteriorated rapidly. Footage shows officers attempt to grab the suspect several times. The suspect pulls away, finally pulling a screwdriver and attacking the officers. Footage shows him violently stab one officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one officer goes down, her partner opens fire. Footage<\/a> shows the officer and three range employees engage the suspect, fatally striking him. Authorities pronounced Payton dead at the scene, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police reported the officer fired nine rounds, without knowing how many times the officer struck the suspect, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. However, they did say the suspect received 14 gunshot wounds. So it's clear the gun range workers made a dramatic difference in the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite suffering a fracture near her eye, the injured officer was treated and released from a local hospital, the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Vegas Police, Gun Range Workers Fatally Shoot Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"marvon-payton-attacks-officer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/11\/marvon-payton-attacks-officer\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125058,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-02-08 12:14:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 17:14:50","post_content":"\n

Farmington Police encountered a wild standoff recently that included a barricaded suspect doused in gasoline, who ultimately hurled a Molotov cocktail toward officers. The incident took place Jan. 20 in New Mexico, with officers finally opening fire and putting down the dangerous suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Suspect Hurls Molotov Cocktail at Farmington Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a neighbor armed and threatening violence. Neighbors alleged a man broke into their apartment, punching a woman in the face. When the man in the apartment attempted to intervene, they further alleged the suspect pulled out a handgun and threatened to kill them, reported the Farmington Daily Times<\/em><\/a>. The man reportedly pulled a knife, prompting the suspect to leave. But not before he allegedly punched the woman a second time when she stepped outside the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n

The Phoenix Police Department recently released its Critical Incident Briefing, stemming from a fatal shooting that occurred Dec. 28. Police shot and killed 30-year-old Jordan Crawford, who pretended to \"draw\" on officers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An officer-involved shooting in Las Vegas Feb. 3 proved fatal, after police responded and a suspect, Marvon Payton Jr., allegedly attacked an officer with a screwdriver. The attack prompted one officer and three gun range employees to open fire, likely saving the officer in trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jordan Crawford Fake Pulls on Police, Who Shoot Him Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began after a 911 call informed police an ex-boyfriend refused to leave a patio apartment, police said<\/a>. The caller informed police the man exhibited violent behavior in the past. She alleged Crawford continued causing problems for her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers arrived on scene and found the suspect walking outside the apartment. After officers called out, Crawford told police he had a gun. Footage<\/a> shows the suspect place his hand behind his back. He clearly simulates grabbing for a gun in the waistband area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers spent several minutes then trying to talk the suspect down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Don't do that,\" an officer called out. \"Jordan we don't want to kill you dude!\" shouted another officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Crawford shouted out \"You decide!\" and then began a countdown, starting at five. When he reached one, Crawford quickly pulled his hand from behind his back in a threatening manner. Officers opened up in a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the shooting, officers deployed less lethal munitions before securing the suspect. Police say officers administered first aid, before officials transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police found no weapon at the scene. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Unarmed Suspect Pulls Fake Gun, Gets Shot Dead by Phoenix PD","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/15\/jordan-crawford-phoenix-police-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125200,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-12 14:58:49","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-12 19:58:49","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer body cam<\/a> footage shows a wild incident taking place during the early morning hours Dec. 25, 2020. The scene turned dangerous when a suspect, identified a Samuel Vasquez, allegedly attempted to run over family members with an SUV. Officers arrived and shot into the vehicle several times, stopping the attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Police Shoot, Stop Samuel Vasquez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when a family gathering reportedly turned into domestic dispute. A 911 call claimed Vasquez, allegedly armed with a knife, crashed a vehicle into a parked car. He reportedly threatened with the knife and attempted to run over people onsite. The caller further claimed a small child also rode inside the SUV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Um he's tryin' a \u2026 Uh my niece's boyfriend trying to run over my \u2026 My niece and he already crashed into my husband's van\" a caller told the 911 operator. \"And he has a knife on him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows Vasquez continue to ram his vehicle into a parked van. With other individuals potentially in harm's way, officers move in to intervene. When Vasquez takes another swipe with the vehicle, at least one officer opens fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, officers convince Vasquez to abandon the vehicle. They place the suspect under arrest without further incident. While trying to place Vasquez in handcuffs, the suspect says, \"You shot me, bro.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yeah, you're trying to run over your f*cking family,\" the officer quickly responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Vasquez to a local hospital for treatment, police said<\/a>. Vasquez faces multiple aggravated assault charges. The incident remains under investigation, to be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Police Shoot Suspect Attempting to Run Over Family","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/12\/samuel-vasquez-phoenix-police\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125238,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-05 15:37:40","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 20:37:40","post_content":"\n

Recently released officer dash and body cam<\/a> shows just how perilous a life in law enforcement can be. Footage shows a routine stop turn decidedly deadly, with one officer from the Missouri-based Webster Groves Police Department, Brendan McGahan, now lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Brendan McGahan Survives Wild Attack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred May 5 in Webster Groves, Mo., when officer McGahan pulled over to assist what he presumed to be a stranded motorist along Interstate 44, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em><\/a>. Footage shows McGahan approach the vehicle, motioning the driver to lower the window. Instead, 23-year-old Qavon Webb flings open the door, blasting away at McGahan. Just like that, in the blink of an eye. Yet somehow, someway, the officer found a way to win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It was frankly a miracle,\" Chief Dale Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"The whole thing is kind of surreal.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for those that walk the thin blue line each day, the footage paints a clear picture. This is the danger officers face daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They will understand the possibilities for danger even on routine calls, which is what this was supposed to be,\" Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Webb shot McGahan six times in rapid succession, according to police. McGahan took the first shot to the chest, his body armor stopping the round, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. After the first bullet seemingly knocked McGahan down, more followed. The officer took rounds to the hand, arm, and leg, along with multiple vest strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGahan Fights Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inexplicably, the suspect appears to then go for the officer's gun. After a quick struggle on the ground, McGahan manages to get his gun into the fight, unleashing a roaring volley of return fire. Footage shows the supsect finally drop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We reviewed this incident mainly from the video and everything we\u2019ve seen, everything he did was appropriate,\" Curtis said. \"He followed proper procedures. The video speaks for itself.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer then radioed for help and applied a tourniquet to his own bleeding arm, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. Ultimately, he remains extremely lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I have no fault with the way he handled it,\u201d Curtis told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch<\/em>. \"He just thought he was going to assist a motorist. He was motioning with his hand to ask the guy to roll down his window, to ask him what the problem was.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Shot 6 Times, Returns 13 Shots and Wins Gunfight","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:13:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/05\/brendan-mcgahan-officer-ambush\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":4},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

An officer-involved shooting in Las Vegas Feb. 3 proved fatal, after police responded and a suspect, Marvon Payton Jr., allegedly attacked an officer with a screwdriver. The attack prompted one officer and three gun range employees to open fire, likely saving the officer in trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Their involvement actually helped our officer and could have saved our officer\u2019s life,\u201d Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Brett Zimmerman said Monday during a news conference on the shooting, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police, Gun Range Workers Fatally Shoot Marvon Payton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call to the gun range. The call described a man allegedly rifling through a customer's bag during a break for a concealed carry course, reported Las Vegas Review-Journal. Footage shows Payton seemingly going through a backpack under a table. Another man approaches, visibly disturbed at the man going through the bag. Police say Payton attempted to steal a gun from the backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So employees escorted Payton from the building. He then allegedly became aggressive, threatening range\/store employees, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. When officers spotted Payton in the parking lot, they ordered him to the front a patrol car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMr. Payton ignored those instructions and started to walk away while hiding his right hand in his jacket pocket,\u201d Zimmerman said, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's when the scene deteriorated rapidly. Footage shows officers attempt to grab the suspect several times. The suspect pulls away, finally pulling a screwdriver and attacking the officers. Footage shows him violently stab one officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one officer goes down, her partner opens fire. Footage<\/a> shows the officer and three range employees engage the suspect, fatally striking him. Authorities pronounced Payton dead at the scene, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police reported the officer fired nine rounds, without knowing how many times the officer struck the suspect, reported the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. However, they did say the suspect received 14 gunshot wounds. So it's clear the gun range workers made a dramatic difference in the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite suffering a fracture near her eye, the injured officer was treated and released from a local hospital, the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Vegas Police, Gun Range Workers Fatally Shoot Suspect","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"marvon-payton-attacks-officer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:46","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:46","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/11\/marvon-payton-attacks-officer\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125058,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-02-08 12:14:50","post_date_gmt":"2021-02-08 17:14:50","post_content":"\n

Farmington Police encountered a wild standoff recently that included a barricaded suspect doused in gasoline, who ultimately hurled a Molotov cocktail toward officers. The incident took place Jan. 20 in New Mexico, with officers finally opening fire and putting down the dangerous suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Suspect Hurls Molotov Cocktail at Farmington Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a call of a neighbor armed and threatening violence. Neighbors alleged a man broke into their apartment, punching a woman in the face. When the man in the apartment attempted to intervene, they further alleged the suspect pulled out a handgun and threatened to kill them, reported the Farmington Daily Times<\/em><\/a>. The man reportedly pulled a knife, prompting the suspect to leave. But not before he allegedly punched the woman a second time when she stepped outside the apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrived and found 46-year-old Humberto Vasquez, who barricaded himself inside his apartment. Footage shows the suspect breaking out windows from inside. Shrieks and screams call out from inside the building. Vasquez tosses a gun out the window, along with a magazine. Inexplicably, he then pours gasoline all over himself. All the while, Vasquez repeatedly dares officers to shoot him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the standoff took an even more dangerous turn when the suspect heaved a Molotov cocktail toward officers. And that became the final line to be crossed. Officers opened fire, putting the suspect down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials rendered aid and transported Vasquez to a local hospital. Police say he remains stable and continues to recover. But Vasquez now faces 11 charges, including nine felony charges, including five counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer, according to the Farmington Daily Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows police use everything at their disposal to diffuse the situation. They spend a lot of time attempting to talk Vasquez down. Further, the suspect, reportedly suffering from a mental state, refuses to comply. And police ultimately had little choice but to stop the threat. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Gas-Soaked, Barricaded Suspect Throws Molotov Cocktail at Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"farmington-police-molotov-cocktail","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/02\/08\/farmington-police-molotov-cocktail\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125106,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-28 14:01:18","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-28 19:01:18","post_content":"\n

Recently released footage shows a Phoenix supercop drop a suspect during an intense hostage scenario. The suspect, identified as 37-year-old Paul Bolden, allegedly took his own baby hostage. Then an officer used his duty carbine to drop the suspect with one heroic shot, grabbed the baby, and took him to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Supercop Stops Suspect With One Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident took place Jan. 9 after police responded to a call at a motel. Police said multiple 911 calls alleged Bolden, while holding a baby, fired a gun at people in the parking lot, reported ABC News<\/em><\/a>. A second 911 call from a woman claimed her husband took her baby, shooting a gun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers found Bolden shooting a gun while holding a baby, reported ABC News. After several commands to put down the child, police say Bolden held the gun on the child. Footage shows an officer take one well-aimed shot with his carbine, dropping the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the child suffered no injuries during the incident. Police transported Bolden to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, reported ABC News. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident serves as an incredible highlight of an officer operating under pressure. Any time an officer pulls a weapon, the intensity no doubt rises. But throw a small child into the mix, and it surely complicates the matter. However, this officer clearly relied on his training. Footage shows the officer take a stable position, using the vehicle door for support. He calmly and quickly dials his scope to the appropriate magnification. And then he squeezes the trigger, successfully ending an alleged hostage situation. A remarkable effort from this Phoenix supercop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident also reminds us of the Tulsa supercop from 2019<\/a>. For those of you who don't remember or didn't see the footage, a Tulsa police officer ended an active shooter situation when he sprinted up to a highway and placed two well-aimed shots through busy traffic.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Supercop Drops Armed Suspect Holding Baby with 1 Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/01\/28\/phoenix-supercop-paul-bolden-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":125176,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-01-15 15:13:31","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-15 20:13:31","post_content":"\n
