This short but quite NSFW video depicts two officers from the Reno, Nevada Police Department as they respond to a stabbing. The suspect charges at the officers, knife raised and already covered in his victim's blood, before he is shot down. No officers were harmed. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

The video footage begins from the moment audio buffers in. The officers make their way to the building, telling bystanders to raise their hands as the officers discern who is a suspect and who is not. A woman is audibly crying. The first officer identifies the victim at 00:25, telling him to raise his hands. However, amid the blood on the floor, he realizes that this is the victim. At 0:32, the suspect becomes visibile, knife in hand and covered in blood. The suspect advances on the officers, who backpedal. The suspect picks up speed as he hits the threshold of the door, at 00:35, and the officers open fire. The suspect is downed and cautioned repeatedly not to move. 01:15 shows the perspective of the other officer, which is largely the same.

Although the suspect was transported to an area hospital, he died from his wounds. The stabbing victim, sixteen years of age, was also transported for care, though reports are not specific as to the outcome- likely due to his status as a minor. No other persons were injured in this incident.
