Phoenix Cops drop rifle toting DV suspect
This bodycam footage is provided by the Phoenix Police Department in Arizona, and features the 911 call that prompted the incident. A woman called in to report that she had been the victim of domestic violence at the hands of her husband, Jason Arietta. When the police arrived, they saw Arietta on the run with a rifle. He ignored commands to stop and continued to move toward a populated area which included children, so the police opened fire and downed Arietta before removing his rifle. Although he was given medical aid and transported to an area hospital, Arietta later died from injuries sustained. Viewer discretion is advised.
