from 43-year-old Glenn Petty Jr. who got into a fire exchange with welfare police like he had some personal scores to settle with him. What's he doing? What's he doing? >> What's going on? Come out with your hands up. >> He's got into his jaw. I don't know if he's anywhere else. >> You got to cuff everything. >> To John who swung a knife during a welfare check at the cops because he believed that he was a god. >> Talk to us. It's the police. We got to see you to make sure you're okay. >> MY NAME IS GOD. >> JOHN. >> All right, John. Talk to >> I am God. >> Okay. >> Drop a knife. >> Here are several mindblowing moments when welfare checks turned fatal. Starting with 30-year-old Terry Jr. who attacked a welfare officer with a kitchen knife, leaving him no choice but to resort to desperate measures. >> My son, he's been diagnosed as expensive training. >> Okay. Where's your son at right now? >> He's at the house. >> Okay. >> Is there there any weapons in any knife or something? He has a knife. >> That's how Drop. On June the 7th, 2025, in Southern California, an unidentified woman drove several miles to report a life-threatening situation unfolding in her own home. Her son, Terry Jr., who was living with schizophrenia, had grabbed a weapon and seemed ready to use it on anyone. >> How you doing? >> Okay, so my son, he's been diagnosed as a schizophrenic. >> Okay. Where's your son at right now? >> He's at the house. >> Okay. Um, and he also has a warrant out for him because he didn't show up for court >> because he didn't take his medicine, which was a conditional rel, which was a condition condition of his release. >> Okay. >> The manic episodes are starting again. When the officers arrived at her house, even though Terry's mom kept a calm front, trying to play down her fear as if nothing serious was happening, the officers knew situations like this had a way of taking a life-threatening turn if not handled with the most utmost caution. >> Given us permission to come in, correct? >> Yeah. Is there any weapons in the hand? >> His name. >> See, I think she took it from me. Yep. This one. That's cut proof technically. Okay. TJ, it's the sheriff's office. Come on out and talk to us, buddy. Got in trouble. >> TJ, we just want to talk to you. >> We just want to talk to you. >> TJ, you come out and talk to us. >> After failed attempts to get Terry out of the room, they could tell something wasn't right. And in that moment, they knew that they had to be more careful than ever before. >> DJ County, you okay? Ber, you okay? >> In the end, Terry lost his life on the spot. Terry was unlucky and had a chance to avoid such a horrific end. But even he wasn't as unlucky as Deborah, a menace who chose to go the hard way rather than let go of her knife. >> You want to drop the knife? Your knife. On August the 8th, 2025 in Brunswick, officers received a call from concerned neighbors reporting a menace who had locked herself up in her apartment with a weapon in her possession and was too dangerous for anyone to approach. The cops showed up to meet a very volatile woman. >> Hey, do you want to drop the knife? At the moment, Deborah appeared not too aggressive as reported by her neighbors. However, the officer soon got to realize Deborah had her plans intact and was just waiting for the right time to pounce. >> Deborah, come on. Talk to us. >> Nobody want to hurt you. Why are you trying to hurt us? >> Dad, let them help you. Hey D. Hey, how you doing? Rocking out. >> Huh? >> Hey, rocking out. With every passing minute, the tension thickened and the officers could barely predict her next move. At first, the officers used a taser on her instead of their firearms. After all, even the most homicidal deserve a second chance. But then they realized it was a matter of survival. down. Down. Okay. Okay. >> In the end, she was taken to hospital where she began her recovery process while she awaits trial. Next up is this man, a straightup psycho who turned a simple welfare check into his moment to declare himself a god. >> I am God. >> Okay. >> Talk to us. Watch out. >> 9 9:15. >> On January the 19th, 2026 in Maryland, an officer responded to multiple calls from concerned neighbors, reporting a man who had held someone hostage in his apartment and was brandishing a knife, ready to strike anyone who got too close. Even with the detailed information he had received over the phone, once he arrived, the officer quickly questioned a few witnesses and realized that the situation was far more dangerous than he had thought. >> Did you get a call? >> Yeah, >> somebody got a knife or something like that. >> Where's where they at? >> I don't think I don't know. I got a lot. All right. So, we are 9:15 and 10 right down. All right. Thanks. All right. TW line 13. Yeah. >> Even though the officer was confident he had enough information to restore order, Don's booming, chaotic voice and the terrified screams of his victim told a different story. He knew that they were going to need backup urgently. When additional officers rolled up, Jon had caught wind that they were just meters away. And he wasn't about to go down without a fight, even if it meant putting his hostages life on the line. >> Police. Police. >> COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP. >> Come out. Hands up. >> Come out with your hands up and talk to us. >> Yeah. Hey, you said >> come out and talk to us. Let's go. >> You said talk to us. >> Don't understand. If you're on scene, check your car. Your car should never talk to us. It's the police. We got to see you to make sure you're okay. I'm just talking. >> I got you. >> I'm I'm not sure. He's >> using that knife and he's saying telling someone to blood everywhere. >> Is he saying? >> Yeah, definitely. >> Who's C? Anybody? >> Just me. >> You want to talk? >> Who's the >> Why are you doing this? >> Come on. Step out and talk to us. >> What's your name, buddy? What's your name? >> What's your name? >> What's your name? >> MY NAME IS GOD. >> JOHN. >> All right, John. Talk to us. >> I am God. >> Okay. >> Talk to us. >> What's going on today, God? What's going on? >> Okay. God. Please drop the weapon. >> Please drop the weapon. >> More space. More space. More space. More space. More space. >> Come on. Drop your weapon. >> Drop it. >> Drop that knife. God. >> John. PLEASE DROP THE KNIFE. GOD. >> I [ __ ] dare you. >> Please drop. >> Please drop the knife. >> Drop the knife. Drop drop it.

Let's try to talk to you. >> If it doesn't work out, we're good. >> I can't help you with those. >> Yes, I can. >> Nobody could have predicted that John, who had been crowning himself a god just minutes earlier, would end up humiliated like this. But unfortunately for him, the officers were only getting started. >> We need to speak to you. Step back just a little bit. >> We don't want to do >> everyone. Good. >> We just want to speak to you. >> Just quiet down in the back. We're going to try to talk. No, >> one word to talk. >> I am gone. >> Let me know what's going on today.

Still on welfare checks turning fatal. Here's a case of a headcase driver who ended up earning some bullets to the chest after running over a police officer who was just checking up on him. >> Hey, are you okay? >> Is he on duty? >> I just been working all day. >> No, no, no. Get out of my Get out of the car. >> On November the 14th, 2024, officers noticed the car parked on a walkway for over an hour. It looked like the driver might have needed urgent medical attention. When they approached the vehicle, they found the driver locked inside completely unresponsive, even after circling the car countless times trying to get his attention. At that point, curiosity began to set in. Could it be that the driver had passed on or that he had a hidden agenda? >> Hey, put the car in park, brother. >> Um, hey, >> can you unlock the door for me, please? Unlock the door real quick. for the car park. This is a jacket at 25. Are you okay? Is he on duty? >> I just been working all day.

In the end, one officer suffered multiple injuries and had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment while the driver was taken to a separate hospital where he underwent a series of surgeries after being charged with the secondderee felony. This driver was absolutely crazy, but he was nothing compared to 43-year-old Glenn Petty Jr. He went headto-head in a shootout with an officer sent to check on him. >> Show your hands. Now, round it back out. >> On May the 18th, 2025, at around 5:00 p.m. in Baltimore, Maryland, officers responded to a welfare check on 43-year-old Glenn Petty Jr. following a report from his mother that he was acting strangely amid a mental health crisis. The officers rushed down to the scene to help without any idea that they would find themselves having to survive the Grim Reaper long hatchet. This is officer Brady, Baltimore County Police. It's officer Brady. >> Can I just Can I talk to you? >> It's Officer Brady. Can I talk to you? Can you come talk to me? >> I can't hear you real well. Can you come talk to me? >> Glenn chose not to open the door for any conversation, sensing that there was trouble in the air. At the moment, the officer was stuck with no clue on what was going on inside the house and how he could gain access inside. He turned to the only option that he had at that moment. >> Hello. >> Hey, this is Officer Brady. Look, >> this is sir. >> Hey, so we're And just so you know, my camera's on, but we're at and nobody's We can hear him talking. >> No, we're out front. You want us to come around back? >> Yeah, come around back. They were supposed to tell you to go around back. >> Okay. Didn't see that. Um, I'll come around the back. >> All right. Thank you. >> All right. No problem. Bye. >> All right. Bye. After confirming that there was only one way into the house, getting inside became the officer's top priority. But as he made his way to the back door, he had no idea he was walking straight into a death. >> Hey, sir. >> Hi. >> What's he doing? What's he doing? >> What's going on? >> Give me a 103. Give me a 103. Show him your hands. Show me your hands. Drop the truck. Come here. Come out. Come out. COME OUT. COME OUT. COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP. >> I'm in the rear.

He's got a in his hand. He's in the house. >> I need a chance to come out. >> Come out WITH YOUR HANDS UP. >> After the brief but tense exchange and before backup could arrive, the officer noticed an eerie silence from inside. A silence that could mean Glenn had ran out of bullets or had been hit. Either way, as he approached the house, he silently prayed Glenn was still alive. PUT >> YOUR HANDS UP. HANDS UP. COME OUT TO ME. COME OUT TO ME. COME OUT TO ME. COME OUT to me. >> Come out. Get him. You got to get the autograph. You got to get down. >> It's on the ground. >> We're getting detained.

I need your help. >> Here, you hold him. Hey, he was talking to me through the front. Clear the house ahead. >> He's got a into his jaw. I don't know if he's anywhere else. >> You got to cuff everything. >> I got >> Okay, I got you. >> In the end, Glenn was taken to the hospital where it was determined that he had passed on. Unlike Glenn Petty, here is a nut job who took welfare officers by surprise by turning a welfare check into a full-blown disaster. >> ANYBODY IN HERE? WHO IS THIS? >> On November the 13th, 2022, officers responded to a call from neighbors who complained about a man screaming in his home. On the scene, the officers met the door to the house wide open, but had a hard time finding the occupant until something they least expected happened. puppy. >> I hear like a male screaming, >> but I can't tell if it's coming from around back or up here.

Put your gun down. >> The officers were now in danger and tried to find a way to diffuse the situation while trying not to get harmed. What's it going down? What's it going down? >> Take cover. >> Take care. Eventually, the man was charged with aggravated assault against the police officer after being extracted from the house by the special operations team. Just when we had thought that we'd seen it all, here's a more critical case where welfare officers in the course of their duty stumbled upon an incredibly scary and heartbreaking situation they would never forget. >> She got flowers and stuff from her. >> Okay, step back. >> Give me your hand. >> Check that. On November the 14th, 2022, officers responded to a concerned woman who requested for a wellness check to be done on her neighbor who loved with an unrelated man. On getting to the location, the officers made shocking discoveries that implicated the man. >> I see you. >> You said you got to make sure you got an animal or something. >> Yeah. Go ahead. >> What?
