Episode Details

Phoenix police released body camera footage of a fatal shooting on June 11th, during a high-stakes arrest attempt of James Glenn, a 56-year-old man convicted on 15 felony counts of child sexual abuse. Glenn had skipped his trial that morning, prompting officers to pursue him. After his vehicle was stopped and blocked, Glenn allegedly raised a handgun inside his truck, leading two officers to fire— one with a handgun, the other with a shotgun— striking him. Officers used a less-lethal launcher before providing aid, but Glenn died at the scene. The case highlights a troubling pattern: this is one of at least 11 Phoenix police shootings this year. Both officers involved had decades of service—23 and 18 years—and Glenn’s legal history included multiple attorney changes and a denied motion to withdraw just days before trial.
