This man had a knife to another man's neck and these officers would take him down immediately. Are you okay, sir? Are you okay? It occurred on February 9th, 2022 when California deputies were monitoring a man with a knife and a fire extinguisher who was accused of breaking people's windows. Suddenly, the man ran into a shack and once inside held an unsuspecting man at knife point, forcing the officers to immediately take action. Hey, somebody in there. Back away. You better put that down. Back away. We'll back up. Put it down. Back off of me now. Go put your gun away. Daddy, don't have a hostage. Go, go, go, go. The officer neutralized the man with two head shot and then showed great professionalism by immediately taking care of a hostage to ensure he was okay. Okay. Are you okay, sir? Are you okay? Are you okay? Hey, are you okay, sir? The man was likely traumatized by the incident, but the officer's use of force, which could be considered risky, was determined to be within department policy. However, when this robber held a pregnant woman at gunpoint back, these officers would risk their lives to save her and her unborn child. I'm pregnant. It started at midnight on September 25th, 2018 when two men forced their way into a home and held a pregnant woman at gunpoint asking for money. When officers arrived, one suspect ran from the home and the other exited the house with the pregnant woman at gunpoint. Back up. Come here. Drop the gun. Hey, watch your gun. Hey, this is not going to end well. This is not going to end well. Drop that gun. Hey, somebody start getting on the back side. Whatever runs parallel to Holly away from the house, do not do it. Considering the distance, the officers knew firing with a pistol was a great risk for both the woman and her child. But the officers saw the man trying to cross over to the other side of the fence and took their chance to act fast. It [Applause] seemed medic. [Applause] We got one suspect shot off 104. Do not reach for anything. I got this. I got this. No, you're not. We're going to get you through this. You got to get out of here. Let's go. Where's that gun? The pregnant woman wasn't harmed, but taken to the hospital as a precaution. However, the suspect was shot multiple times and hospitalized in critical condition. He had outstanding warrants for driving with a revoked license, resisting a public officer, and speeding, and for this incident was charged with first-degree burglary, first-degree kidnapping, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. But these officers arrived too late to save the next woman from her killer husband. Help me. Shots fired. Shots fired. If you're enjoying this video, please like and subscribe. On November 25th, 2023, a lone Baltimore officer arrived at the residence of 52-year-old Arnell Redern and 48-year-old Maxine Redern regarding a possible domestic violence incident. But the officer would never have expected what happened next. Help me. Shots fired. Shots fired. I try [Applause] to get on your tough work. Shots right on that. Are you okay? As the officer tried to open the door, Arnell appeared from inside and shot him before firing multiple shots while in the home. He eventually reappeared at the door again and exchanged gunfire with the officer who ran for cover. It wasn't clear why or who are now shot inside the home, but his wife wasn't screaming anymore and the officers feared the worst. Dragged on that. I can't tell. Get on me. Bam. Drop the weapon. Where is he? He's on the porch. I need somebody on the rear. I have rifle. Where is he? He's on the porch right in front of our car. Blue house. Gosh. Right here. I'm good. I'm good. I don't think I'm hit. people out there. The officers managed to permanently neutralize the man and escape uninjured. However, they were broken, knowing it was too late as the eventual search of the residence revealed a deceased adult woman, later identified as the man's wife. It was discovered that the officers had previously responded to reports of domestic violence in the home, with the last being in October, the same month the woman filed for a divorce and one month before her unfortunate death. This only made the incident more unfortunate when no charges were filed in connection with the case. However, the manner in which the next killer left his victim greatly traumatized these officers. My head is cut off. Oh. And they still had to contain him. Don't do it. We will shoot you. Do not move for the knife. On February 7th, 2019, officers arrived at a residence regarding a possible domestic violence situation, and they broke down the door to find something shocking. Oh [ __ ] Get down. Get down. Did he? He's got enough. He's got him. Get down. Get down. Start fire. Get fire. Get fire. Stay right there. Don't move. Don't move. Move in and cough them. Our head is cut off. Oh. Hey, stand right. [ __ ] Let me see. Give me. Stay there. There's one to the left. I can't clear. Do not touch the knife. Do not touch that knife. Do not touch the knife. Oh god. [Music] Stop. Look away. Yes. She got her head cut off. All right. Oh, yeah. We need to make sure there's one more female. There was a man on the bed with a large knife beside him, but that was the least of the officer's problems. Lying on the floor in front of the officers was a woman with blood around her, and she was missing a head. So, the officers had to mentally struggle with a sight while trying to control the suspect, eager to grab his knife. Don't do it. Don't do it. We will shoot you. Do not move for the knife. Do not touch the knife. We will shoot you. Jody, I'm going down. Okay, I'm going. Do not touch the knife. Don't touch the knife. Don't touch the knife. Do not touch the knife. Please. We believe you. Believe you. Please do not touch the knife. Do not stop. Stop. I'm going to stop. No. Please don't do it. We will shoot you. No. No. No. No. No. No. Don't do it. Don't do it. No. Down the ground. Get down on the ground. Get down on the ground. Wait, I'm going to grab him. Hold it. He grabbed it. He's got the knife. He got the knife. Get down on me. You got the knife again. Dude, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. The officers didn't know this at the time, but there were two adults and two children who had barricaded themselves in another room in the home. For now, the officer's primary concern was the suspected killer, who was now inching closer toward them with a knife, forcing them to gun him down. Oh my god. All right, let's move in. Let's move in. The suspect sustained fatal injuries and the officers eventually escorted the uninjured individuals out of the apartment. It wasn't clear who the victim was to the suspect. However, the next man ended the lives of people he was supposed to be a father to. It occurred on December 20th, 2024 when officers entered a home belonging to a woman and her five kids following a domestic violence call only to receive the biggest shock of their lives. Police department. Police department. Make yourself known. Hey fire. [Music] [Applause] Go to your room. Get outside. [Music] The rapid shooting began when a male in the house, later identified as 43-year-old Jerry Yang, who was the homeowner's exartner, shot at the first officer as he entered the corner, sending him to the ground before the second officer returned fire. During the gunfire, screams from what appeared to be an underage male were heard. And while it wasn't clear why he was screaming, the officers knew they needed to neutralize Jerry quickly, possibly at the cost of their own lives. Man, Brett, you good? I don't know. Okay. Okay. I'm not worried about me right now. We got to get to him. You need to make sure fires are in route. Something's got me in my leg, but I don't know what it is. [Music] I don't know, man. I like I said, something something hit me in the leg. If you move, I am going to shoot you. Come out with your hands up. I don't know. I think he just got my knife. I can't I can't tell. Stay right here. Stay right where you are. Right here. Got He's down. Is he down? He's down. Man's down. Man's down. Suspect down. Come with me. Come with me. Come with me. Eventually, the officers realized that Jerry pulled the trigger against his head during the gunfight, but they also realized that he had fired at the woman's two sons in the home with the 15-year-old sustaining fatal wounds. Jerry had a long history of criminal behavior and the woman and her kids were granted a restraining order from him after he was arrested for trying to run the woman and her children off the road. The officer hit by gunfire was okay as the bullet struck his pocketk knife and didn't get to his skin. This 19-year-old tried to shoot up a high school and the officer stopped him just in time to avoid a very deadly incident. Down on the ground. What the Put your hands behind your back. On April 20th, 2018, 19-year-old Sky Bouch entered Forest High School in Florida, even though he wasn't a student, with a bag and a guitar case, and headed straight for the toilet. But minutes later, he exited the bathroom wearing a tactical style vest with a shotgun in hand, and proceeded to shoot into a classroom, injuring a 17-year-old boy and prompting police to be called to the school. Right here, hold on. Secure. What the is that? Who was that? 996. 996 burn. 996 burn. I think it was a signal 35. If you could uh send me signal 55 C hallway. Hey, lock this school down. 26.

That's the kid. Where? We are an all unit and sending green on. Surprisingly, after the first shooting, Sky discarded the shotgun in the hallway and entered a classroom and began speaking to a female staff member who managed to keep him there till officers arrived down on the ground. What the? Put your hands behind your back. Everyone out. Okay, stop right there. Stop right there. Who is he? 996 B. I have one in custody. They're saying he's a shooter. Did anyone see him?

He's saying he's the shooter. It was shocking that Sky had only fired once as he was fully geared and appeared ready to cause severe damage. And in later interviews, he would claim that he was initially fueled by an adrenaline rush that quickly wore off, discouraging him from continuing with the plan. However, to the officer, he had premeditated murder and was a deadly criminal. I'm sorry, sir. I wasn't raised by the right people. Are you kidding me? There's a lot of violence. I don't know. Didn't 45. The front doors of the main building are all locked. I'm walking around. Are you serious? I don't know why. Don't say another word. Don't say another word.

You're the only one? Yes, sir. Yo, come on. Get up. Let's take this west stairwell. He was arrested and charged with terrorism, aggravated assault with a firearm, and possession of a firearm on school property. He was eventually sentenced to a minimum of 25 years behind bars and 30 years of probation upon release. The 17-year-old survived the incident with non-life-threatening injuries and eventually filed a $30,000 lawsuit against Marian County Public Schools for breaching its duties of responsible care for the safety and protection of its students, employees, and guests. One call was from a woman who reported her husband had taken her baby and was shooting a gun. This man was running off with a gun and this woman's child and the officers would do something extremely dangerous to rescue the baby. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. No. Get the kid. Get the kid. Come here, buddy. On January 9th, 2021, a motel worker called 911 when a man and a woman began struggling for what appeared to be a baby. We've got an Iight guest of another guest running around with a gun here. We need somebody. He's beating up on his old lady. Just then, the man pulled the woman to the floor and dragged the child out of her hand before running off with the woman behind him dialing 911. Hurry up. Where is your emergency? Hurry up. I'm here since 7th Avenue. My husband just took my baby. He has a gun. He's loaded. He took the baby. He's trying to He's shooting fire. He's shooting, man. Hurry up. He's trying to shoot.

And while it wasn't clear why, arriving officers knew they had to act fast when he started shooting at cars and people while holding the baby. Oh, hey. Drop the gun. Drop the gun, dude. Shot. 51. He has a kid hostage right now. He has a gun. He has made one gunshot already. We need more units. Block off all traffic. Hit a black male with a child. Dude, put the kid down, man. Stop.

No. Get the kid. Get the kid. Come here, buddy. Come on, buddy. Come on. Come on. I got the kid. I got the kid. Hi, buddy. Hi, buddy. Hey, buddy. Are you okay? Hi, bud. I know. The officer was so eager to ensure the kid was safe that he went against his partner's orders to wait and ensure Paul was neutralized. Fortunately, the baby was uninjured. However, Paul later died in the hospital, but the next killer held a knife to his own mother's neck. Let go of her. Let go of her. Let me go. Let go. And the officers would quickly set him straight. On January 1st, 2025, officers arrived at a residence on reports that a 55-year-old man named Henry Gonzalez, high on drugs, was holding a 79year-old mother at knife point outside her home.

Henry sustained a fatal wound to the head and was transported to the hospital where he died 3 days later. His 79year-old mother was unharmed during the incident. His mental state was under serious scrutiny at the time, but there was no excuse for the next suspect whose actions would lead to a very tragic end. It all started on October 8, 2021 when Los Angeles 911 dispatch received multiple disturbing calls. Hello, LAPD operator tonight. Yes. Uh, somebody got shot in my store. Hang up. Yeah.

And shortly after, police located and tried to approach the man at an apartment building, which was when he shot at other people in the area before entering the building. Once inside, he broke into a woman's apartment and held her at gunpoint against the window for the officers to see. Someone's head. What? Shut the or knife. It is. Oh my god.

After being shot twice with a non-lethal weapon, Mavic struck the man with his knife and was fatally shot.

However, this man held this innocent hostage to escape police, but would meet a tragic end. Look, it's you need to let her go. Okay, calm down. Let her go. My son not about to go. No, no, calm down. On March 16th, 2023, officers were called to a hotel premises regarding a man walking around with a large machete. And when they approached him, he refused commands and ran into the building after officers tased him, eventually grabbing a woman outside her room door and holding the machete to her neck. Listen.

So, the officers and even his hostage victims spoke to him calmly and tried to persuade him to release the woman. But, Edridge only appeared more determined to harm the woman.
