Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Knoxville police release body camera footage Monday from a shooting earlier this month on Pemmbrooke Shire Lane showing Officer Arim Ismail’s response to a 911 text for help.
The incident occurred early in the morning on December 2. KPD officials say responding officers found a man with a gun, and Ismail fired a shot before she and the other officers took cover. No one was hurt during the shooting. The man was taken into custody and then to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. At this time, no criminal charges are on file for the man.
The entire body camera footage, as released by KPD, can be viewed here.
Ismail, who is a 2023 graduate of the Basic Recruit Academy, was placed on a routine leave during the first part of an internal investigation into the officer-involved shooting; she has since returned to duty.
The internal, administrative investigation, which is being led by the Office of Professional Standards, is still ongoing, KPD said.
