Skip to 0:20 if you just wanna watch the shooting In an audio of the 911 call provided by the Attorney General’s Office, the woman can be heard telling police she wants Mendez out of the house. As the officer calls up the steps for Mendez, he appeared at the top of the staircase and is holding a large knife, the video footage shows. Hammel told him to put it down and when Mendez does not, the officer pulls out his gun and tells him to “relax.” “Put the knife down and get down on the floor,” Hammel can be heard saying in the body-cam video. “You need to put it down and let me talk to you.” He asked Mendez why he is upset, but he does not answer the officer, who continues to try to persuade him to drop the knife for about two minutes before Mendez suddenly ran down the stairs with the knife in his hand. Hammel fired three shots as Mendez reached the bottom of the steps, the video shows. Mendez was taken to Old Bridge Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 4:47 p.m., authorities said.
