A distressing incident unfolded in Glendale as a man was reported to have attacked his own mother with a knife. Authorities responded swiftly to the 911 call reporting the incident, which was captured on surveillance cameras and the bodycam footage of the officers involved.

According to the footage, officers arrived at the scene to find a tense situation. The man, identified as Carlos, was seen holding a knife and standing near his mother. Officers attempted to communicate with Carlos, urging him to come outside peacefully. However, Carlos seemed agitated and did not comply with their requests.

As the officers continued to negotiate with Carlos, the situation escalated. Carlos, still holding the knife, refused to cooperate and made threatening gestures towards the officers. Despite efforts to calm him down, Carlos remained hostile.

Eventually, Carlos moved towards the door, still holding the knife, prompting officers to take action. In a tense moment, shots were fired as Carlos posed a threat to both his mother and the officers. The officers acted swiftly to neutralize the threat and protect themselves and others involved.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges law enforcement officers face in handling volatile situations. Despite their best efforts to de-escalate the situation, they are sometimes forced to make split-second decisions to ensure public safety.

The Glendale Police Department is currently investigating the incident further to determine the circumstances surrounding the altercation and the use of force by the officers involved.
