Phoenix Police Shooting Under Review

Phoenix police released chilling bodycam footage of a June 11 shooting that left 56-year-old James Glenn dead, during a high-stakes arrest for sexual contact with a minor. Officers say Glenn pulled a weapon, triggering a deadly exchange — one officer fired a shotgun, another a pistol — as Glenn remained obscured from view. The video shows a gun later found wedged in his car, and Glenn became the seventh person killed by Phoenix police this year. Officers Brian Authement and Erik Infiesto, both with lengthy records including prior use-of-force incidents, are under investigation by the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. The case hinges on whether deadly force was justified under Phoenix’s strict policy requiring an immediate threat with no de-escalation option.
