Phoenix, Arizona — On October 2, 2025 around 7:45 a.m., Phoenix police officers responded to a home regarding a man armed with a knife near 7th Street and Sunland Avenue. Additionally, the man, 58-year-old Victor Altamirano stated that he would confront the police if contacted. As multiple officers arrived on scene, the first responding officer contacted several family members just outside of the home. During this contact, the officer was again told that the man was armed with a knife. As this conversation took place, Altamirano, armed with a knife raised above his head, came out of the home and ran in the direction of an officer while he verbally challenged the officer. This is when the critical incident began. During this encounter, three officers used force. One officer deployed their duty weapon, another used both their less-lethal 40mm launcher and their duty weapon, and the other deployed their less-lethal pepper ball launcher. Officers rendered aid until the Phoenix Fire Department arrived and transported Altamirano to a nearby hospital, where he later died. The knife possessed by Altamirano during this incident was recovered at the scene.

Did the tire have a knife?
cop#1 : "you will be shot"…by someone else…
The suspect died in the hospital do to multiple gunshot wounds…etc
No lie that was some wowdinnie twisting and dodging bullets stuff in the beginning.
Those women didn't care one bit.
Wow, fantastic police marksmanship! 😏
The perp wanted to die. He got his wish.
The perp was like more than 100 feet away from the police. Why were they shooting at him?
Jajajajaja stupid dead jaajajajaja
He got his wish and the family is safe, all due to the police. Job well done.
At least there wasn't a screaming woman in the background on this one. I think things are getting a little better.
ok but the guy was like 50 ft away when they shot him and they literally did not try to deescalate at all.
Cops make everything worse
I’m confused on this one. My first instinct, of him backing away, and not dropping the knife and several attempts Called out for him to drop the knife, I totally agree with the shooting.
My confusion lies with the officer on scene understood not only he was depressed, but that he was gonna do a death by shooting.
Question :
Why were the tasers not used? Was it because of distance?
Ridiculous, a bunch of cops cross firing, randomly firing in a neighborhood. Get closer to the guy and beanbag him down. Geez.
You know I dont think they wanted to have to shoot him ,more like warning shots..untill they weren't.
That second officer and the guy with the pepper ball were the only ones to accomplish anything that day.
Phoenix PD hiring Stormtroopers now???
Is this just target practice dude is so far away with nothing to endanger and they’re taking pot shots at him
He got what he wanted
this is why we need real mental health help if we get real mental health help in this country we could slove a lot fo these things from happening and actually save people
1:30 "Harry! You're alive and you're a horrible shot"
Tackleberry would be upset
Dude yelled “I wanna die!” Officers like “Your wish is my command!”😂
Excellent. He received the pain he was willing to give to others.
Officer 1 needs to hit the range
