55 year old male in domestic dispute with parents pulls knife on Phoenix police

The caller told the 911 operator that her adult son was on drugs and had been arguing with her all day. The caller said she had taken a knife away from him earlier in the day and that he was still at the home.

On their way to the call, officers did a records check which showed the caller's son had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. When officers arrived, they knocked on the door and were met by a man and woman. Both of them motioned for officers to come in. The woman told officers her son had two knives and he was in the bedroom. The officers told the woman to leave the home, but she stayed inside and made her way into the living room.

Officers saw a man in the threshold of one of the bedrooms and ordered the man to show his hands. The man then came out of the bedroom with a knife in one hand and an object in the other. Officers order him to drop the knife, but the man refused to do so and walked toward the living room. One of the officers fired his handgun, striking the man, who then ran into a bedroom.
