Episode Date: July 31, 2020

Former police officer talks about incident. The Phoenix Police Department has released a Critical Incident Briefing (CIB) video that includes audio, visuals and information related to an officer-involved shooting that happened on the evening of May 29, 2020. Officers from the Cactus Park Precinct responded to a 911 call at a liquor store near 27th Avenue and Bethany Home Road. The caller indicated a man walked into a liquor store holding a handgun and manipulating the slide. Surveillance video shows the man outside the store, armed with the weapon. The man was later identified as 22-year-old Omar Luna. An officer responded to the location and contacted the 911 caller, learning that Luna was walking around while displaying the handgun and making statements about scaring people. Two additional officers responded, obtaining Luna's description and last known location. They began searching the area and quickly located the suspect walking on a nearby residential street. Body-worn camera footage shows officers attempting to speak with Luna, but he immediately ran from them. Two officers got out of their vehicle and ran after him. As Luna was running away, one of the officers saw him remove a handgun from his shorts and swing it in the direction of the officer. Luna continued running and approached the front door of a home, where he fired the weapon as he tried to open the door. One officer returned fire three times, striking the suspect. Luna continued into the house as officers tried to contact the others inside to make sure they were safe. As officers moved residents out of the house, they saw the man sitting on the floor. He told officers he had accidentally fired the handgun. After the last person left the house, officers had Luna crawl outside where he was detained and provided first aid. The Phoenix Fire Department transported Luna to the hospital where he was treated for his injuries prior to being booked into the Maricopa County Jail. Luna has been charged with one count of Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer. There were no other injuries to community members or officers. The officer who fire his duty weapon is a 23-year-old assigned to the Cactus Park Precinct. He has 2 years of service. Conclusions about whether the actions of the officers are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete.

Hey guys, Clint here. Phoenix is insane. Phoenix, Arizona. There are so many shootings going on in Phoenix. The world seems nutty right now. Video, I'm going to show you a four-minute video. There's really not much to say about it. Happen May 29th in Phoenix.

Omar Luna goes into a liquor store and starts fiddling with his firearm. Racks it, puts it in his pocket, takes it out of his pocket. People witnesses obviously see this, so they call the police, and police finally find the guy walking down the street. He goes into a house. Turns out it's his house. Luna, he lives. I think this guy suffered from mental health. That's my gut.

It isn't funny how the government in Canada, maybe you're from the states, but in the government of Canada, is they want members, R-CMP members, to not go to so many mental health calls because they're guns ablazing? Should we have police officers approach a situation in a way that would calm spirits down, clearly de-escalated, or do they need to always go in with, you know, fully armed and ready to go and looking, you know, raising, raising tension? They feel that the members are a threat to the people that are suffering mentally. But what the government doesn't understand, obviously, those people can be dangerous, very dangerous. Some of them are capable of murder all the time. When I was a cop, it seemed like 50% of the calls I went to were mental health.

And they have weapons. And you want security guards to go to that? Those kind of calls? I'm getting into a topic where I want to expand on another time, but enjoy the video. Omar lives. Okay, he lives. Minor injuries, actually. Bye-bye.

I'm right here in the 27th Avenue and Bethany home and the beer and wine liquor store. And he's one guy with a gun outside. I don't know what intention, but he cut in the gun and go inside the store. It's like white guy with shorts. He has a gun and he went inside the beer and liquor store? Yes, and he cut the gun. He showed it in the door. Can you stop?

Talk to us. Hey, hands out of your pocket. Hey, hands out of your pocket, dude. Hey, can you stop? Talk to us. Hey, hands out of your pocket. Hands out of your pocket. Come outside, ma'am, come out.

I wasn't shooting though. Right now when I try to open the door and it went off. Yeah, exactly. Let me see your hands. Where's the gun? Do not reach for your pocket. You will be shot. I don't got no guns, man.

Keep scooting now. Until you to stop. That's fine. That's fine. That's fine. Keep going, come on. That's fine.
