* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Boise, Idaho — On August 3, 2023, shortly before 11:00 a.m., 54-year-old Christian Johnson called 911 three times requesting law enforcement assistance. He was told they were on their way. The calls were routed by dispatch to the Boise Police Department (BPD) for a welfare check on Christian. BPD Officer Garrett Miller had just begun his shift when he became aware of the call. Officer Miller recognized Christian Johnson from a 911 hang-up call at the same address a couple of days prior. At that prior call, Officer Miller met Christian in person and spoke with him at his residence. Christian told Officer Miller that he had "smoked a bunch of meth" and had not been sleeping for at least a couple days. Officer Miller noticed Christian was exhibiting symptoms of paranoia. Since Officer Miller had this prior interaction with Christian, he decided to respond to the welfare check call. BPD Corporal Andrew Johnson also responded to the welfare check on Christian. Cpl. Johnson arrived first to the apartment complex at 1101 S. Dale Street, and Officer Miller shortly thereafter. Both officers parked their marked patrol cars, and Christian could be heard yelling from the second floor of an apartment building. Cpl. Johnson and Officer Miller observed that Christian held a metal spike and a long hammer in one hand, and a K-Bar style knife in the other. Immediately, Officers told Christian to drop the weapons. Christian yelled that someone was trying to kill him. As Christian approached, both officers raised their duty weapons. After more commands to put the knife down, and Christian yelling no, Christian turned toward the officers and charged. As he ran, he raised both hands over his head, holding the knife in his right hand and the hammer and metal spike in his left. Quickly approaching the officers, Christian again yelled an incoherent statement. When Christian was within two parking stalls away, approximately six to ten feet, and still running at them, Cpl. Johnson fired his gun. Immediately after, Officer Miller shot Christian. Simultaneously, Cpl. Johnson and Officer Miller continued shooting until Christian fell to the ground. Cpl. Johnson alerted dispatch that there had been an officer involved shooting while Officer Miller kicked the weapons away from Christian. Christian was pronounced dead at the scene caused by multiple gunshot wounds. Officers recovered a claw hammer, a k-bar knife with a twelve-inch blade, and a fourteen- inch metal spike/pry bar. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - 'DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse' - Brian Parker - Sean Sheldon - Marvin Tobar - Lee Roberts - 'Mr. Unknown' - Katie Eberl - 'iqtester.org' - Josef Rex - 'Skydog' - Jesse - Ádám Lampért - Sabrina Bewey - Kelly Goodwin - Anthony Martinez - 'wuzy' - 'Jun' - 'Xenik' - 'Rom' - kyle McBurnett - 'Fishy Tuna' - 'GotsNoGroove Cheryl' - 'CombatKid' - Exus Altimus - 'Dawesenm' - Paul Rohrbaugh - 'Krazy KZ' - Koby Bland - Christopher Payne - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Rich Biggs - 'JTrip' - Brant Eaton - 'wvot' - James Pringle - 'AccuShoot.com' - Meighan Garrick - 'Sopaul' - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - 'Necko' - Gerardo Flores - Anthony Eufemio - 'Donkbot' - Gage Kissinger - 'coco Coco' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PoliceActivity Follow us on X: https://x.com/Police_Activity 🛍️ Check out our Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/PoliceActivity 🛍️ Disclosure: Please note that we will receive a small commission from purchases made through our Amazon store.
