This morning, outside the QT at 2500 W. Camelback, three of our officers were the victims of a violent, intentional attack. These officers had just completed a call for service and were standing in the parking lot in front of the store debriefing the incident when the suspect drove his vehicle directly at them attempting to run them over. The suspect vehicle struck two of the officers, collided into a police vehicle and crashed into the QT causing extensive damage. The suspect then struggled violently with the officers for several minutes before being taken into custody. The two officers struck by the vehicle sustained serious but not life threatening injuries. The third officer was able to jump out of the way but sustained some injuries during the extended struggle with the suspect.
As a Department, we are very fortunate these officers were not killed or more seriously injured. We are living in uncertain times, and this is yet another reminder of how important it is to stay vigilant, and to watch out for one another. The actions taken by our officers in the immediate moments following this incident were nothing short of heroic. I am so proud of them and all the men and women of the Phoenix Police Department.
Please be safe, Joe Yahner

I wish they would have shot the thug and made him a vegetable.

I hope he gets what he deserves.
No life threatening injuries suffered by the officers. But serious injuries suffered.
Sucks that they didn’t shoot the POS attacker DEAD. Yeah, then there would have been riots and the BLM scum would have burnt down yet another one of their own areas. Oh well.
Some interesting facts on the officer who was flung into the window. He’s 33 years old and this was his first day patrolling. He had a head injury but helped subdue the terrorist. He’s going to be ok. The officer that jumped out of the way was also injured during the fight after. Our AZ hearts are filled with pride for these officers and their heroic response to the terrorist action.
