Bodycam Footage of Yuma Police Officers Firing Their Guns at a Man Armed With a Knife

* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) *
Yuma, Arizona — On Friday, April 12, 2024, at approximately 7:10 a.m., Yuma Police Department officers responded to the 1000 block of S. Magnolia Avenue for an individual who was being disorderly and threatening to kill the occupants and their dog. Officers made contact with a 30-year-old male. He was being disorderly and displaying bladed weapons and began threatening officers. Officers attempted to verbally de-escalate the volatile situation. The suspect refused to comply and walked towards the residential area still displaying the bladed weapons.

Officers attempted several times to utilize less lethal options in an attempt to stop the suspect from advancing towards the occupied homes. The suspect threatened the officers with a knife at which time officers fired their service weapons to stop the threat. Officers immediately assess the suspect’s injuries and within minute and a half of the last shot fired, officers were able to render emergency first aid while waiting for the Fire Department to arrive. The suspect was taken to Yuma Regional Medical Center for medical treatment but has since been released from the hospital and recovering in rehab. The suspect has not been charged. No injuries to the officers or other community members were reported.
