## Summary

Newly released bodycam footage and 911 audio document a deadly attack in Arizona in which two people were killed and a third wounded. Police say the group had taken psychedelic mushrooms before one man allegedly attacked his friends; the footage shows the officers’ response and the confrontation that ended with police opening fire.
