WARNING: The video included in this story contains graphic imagery of an officer-involved shooting
(KRON) — The Antioch Police Department released footage on July 10 of an officer involved shooting, which happened at a home on the 3800 block of Osprey Drive in Antioch on June 30.
Video of the scene provided by police shows officers shooting 26-year-old Davis Bahrami to death as he charged at them with a knife in the middle of a suburban street, according to the Antioch Police Department. Police responded to the home at 7:15 a.m. after Bahrami called 911 saying he “wanted to kill his family,” the Antioch Police Department said.
“Officers tried to contact the caller’s family but were unsuccessful,” Antioch PD said. “While officers were gathering information and establishing a plan, a phone call was made to [Bahrami] in an effort to de-escalate the situation and establish contact with his family. Bahrami refused to allow officers to speak with his family and instead made additional threats to kill his neighbor.”
Air quality advisory: Wildfire smoke moving toward the Bay AreaDuring the call with Bahrami, officers gathered on a street corner near the home and asked him to meet them outside. When Bahrami appeared, officers allegedly ordered him to stop and get on the ground.
“In response, Bahrami removed a large knife from his waistband and attempted to flank officers before charging directly at them,” Antioch PD said. “Despite the deployment of less-lethal munitions, Bahrami continued advancing on officers while holding the knife. Officers discharged their service weapons, striking Bahrami. Officers on scene rendered aid until paramedics staged nearby arrived and took over care. However, Bahrami was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
