If you are having thoughts of suicide or feeling suicidal, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline immediately at 988. When officers arrived, they found a man who matched the caller’s description holding what appeared to be two knives, according to police. Police on Monday released body camera video that shows Hills running toward officers, who shoot him before he nears them. After the caller reports a mentally ill man wielding knives, the dispatcher tells the caller she’ll remain on the line with him until officers arrive. Before officers arrive, the caller says, “My phone is cutting ...” and the line goes dead.
