Phoenix, AZ - Police shot and killed a man they said ran towards officers armed with a knife. Family members reportedly called 911, saying the man was trying to hurt himself. Police said they received a call about a suicidal person in an alley behind some homes. The person was reportedly armed with a knife and appeared to be actively hurting himself. When officers approached him, they gave him several commands to drop the knife, but the man was non-cooperative. When the man began walking towards officers, a Taser was deployed, but was ineffective. That's when the man began running toward police, and two officers fired shots, striking the man, according to Sgt. John Buchanan with Phoenix PD. Despite rendering aid, the man died at the scene. His knife was later recovered from the alley. No officers were injured.

Teens accused of kicking in Phoenix family’s front door in viral ‘prank’

Tue 15 Sep 2026 12:09:03 +0200

A Phoenix family said two teenagers caused thousands of dollars in damage after kicking in their front door on Saturday morning. Phoenix police said the incident may be connected to a dangerous social media trend. The incident happened near Tatum and Greenway roads at about 6 a.m. A woman in the home, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she heard a loud bang and first thought someone was breaking in or that a car had run into the home. Ring video footage captured two people who appear to be teenage boys opening the family’s front gate and running to the front door while trying to cover their faces. One then turns around and kicks the door open before they run off. “I carry, personally, just because you never know what’s going to happen. I think it’s always safer that way, and I immediately reached for that, because what else are you supposed to do when you think someone is in our home? You’re not going to be walking around just like, ‘Hello, come get me,’” the woman said. The family said the door is custom-built and will need to be completely remade, at a cost of around $10,000. Police confirm report, cite viral ‘door kick challenge’ Phoenix police confirmed they responded to the home and reviewed the homeowner’s security footage. Police said they took a criminal damage report and will assign it to a detective for follow-up. Police said the incident may be linked to a trend circulating on social media known as the “Door Kick Challenge,” which encourages people—often teens—to kick front doors with force and film it for online attention. “While some may view it as a prank, this behavior poses serious risks to residents and offenders alike,” Phoenix police said. “Door kicking can cause property damage, frighten families, escalate confrontations, and lead to criminal charges including disorderly conduct, criminal damage, or trespassing.” The trend can also lead homeowners to believe they’re facing an actual break-in, prompting unnecessary 911 calls and public safety risks, Phoenix police said.

He called a federal officer a name at a gas station. Seconds later, he was on fire

Thu 23 Jul 2026 14:58:24 +0200

FORT MOHAVE, Ariz. - A shocking encounter was caught on camera on July 16 when a Mohave Valley man was stunned with a Taser by an officer with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The incident ignited a fire right by the gas pump at Thalypo Convenience & Fireworks on the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation. Cell phone video from Clarence Coyl’s point of view captures the tense standoff between him and an officer with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Coyl says he and his friend drove through an open gate approaching Catfish Paradise at the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. That’s when he noticed the officer. "He goes, ‘You guys came through the gate, didn’t you? Leave now. Get out of here.’ I’m like, ‘OK’ and he got really snotty, and he says, ‘Well, I’ll give you a ticket,’ and I say, ‘Give me a ticket, you gotta trespass me first,’" Coyl said. Coyl turned around and drove to the Thalypo gas station, which is located on Fort Mojave Indian Reservation land 20 minutes away. The officer also arrived there and confronted Coyl for his ID. When asked what was going through his mind when the flames burst, Coyl said, "I thought I was gonna die. Believe it or not, I went into instinct to stop, drop and roll." Coyl waited for paramedics and was later treated at the hospital. He says he was never arrested. "And I spend five and a half hours there, not a single officer or anything followed up to write a report, question me or nothing … nobody showed up at the hospital at all for any of this," Coyl said. Coyl says he has first and second-degree burns on his hands and severe nerve damage. But mentally, he feels that going to get gas is a traumatic experience. "I start shaking really bad, and I start having flashbacks, and I’ve been having really bad nightmares over this," Coyl said.
