## Resource

Two Albuquerque police shootings in May ended in death, raising urgent questions about officer safety and use of force. In the first, Jose Armas, who’d called 911 threatening suicide, opened fire on officers — who returned fire — before he died. Three days later, Robert Salas, on probation for domestic violence, charged at an officer with a knife after fleeing a parking lot stop. Officers fired in self-defense as he approached. Both incidents, though distinct in context and duration, underscore the split-second decisions officers face when confronting armed threats — and the department’s release of body cam footage reveals tense, escalating moments where de-escalation efforts failed.
