HENDERSON, Nev. – Authorities in Nevada released body cam footage and the disturbing 911 call in a recent officer-involved shooting in which a mother was fatally shot by police after she allegedly stabbed her 7-year-old son dozens of times.
The boy called 911 on Oct. 21 in Henderson to report the incident before the call was disconnected, according to FOX 5 Vegas. The Henderson Police Department released video of the incident, including the chilling 911 call
“My mom is trying to kill me,” the boy can be heard telling dispatchers, and then later pleading with his mother not to hurt him.
In the video, a woman’s voice, identified as the mother, can also be heard giving the 911 operator the building number before the line is disconnected. Video shows the operator attempting to call the number back, but no one answers.
