In a horrifying incident in Hillsborough County, Florida, a 27-year-old man holding his 7-year-old brother at knife-point was shot dead by police during a tense rescue operation. The suspect, identified as Mario Camacho, was reportedly choking the child while wearing a motorcycle helmet and two tactical vests when deputies arrived at the scene. Responding to a domestic violence call in Brandon, officers found Camacho barricaded in a bedroom, ignoring repeated commands to release the boy. Terrifying bodycam video shows the moment Deputy Antonio Gonzalez fired a single shot after Camacho refused to comply. Authorities said Camacho’s sister had called 911, claiming he had been cutting her off before turning on their younger sibling. The child was rescued safely, while Camacho was pronounced dead at Brandon Regional Hospital. US Shocker: Cop Chases, Tries To Run Over Man Before Crashing Into House in Baltimore; Suspended After Video Goes Viral.
