Body cam footage released by the Phoenix Police Department shows how an officer was ambushed Friday, February 11, 2022, after he responded to reports a woman had been shot.

Breitbart News reported the ambush morphed into an attempt to rescue a baby, once a man placed the baby outside the door of the residence, following initial contact with the ambush suspect.

Phoenix police released footage that shows the first officer making contact with the suspect. The suspect can be heard urging the officer to “come on” and get inside to save the woman. As the officer gets to the door the suspect can then be seen allegedly raising a handgun and opening fire.

The Phoenix PD noted, “The officer was hit several times and could not return fire due to severe gunshot injuries to his right arm.”
