Arizona authorities have released body camera footage of the moment a police officer shot a terrorism suspect who was charging at him with a knife.
Ismail Hamed, 18, was arrested following the confrontation with a Maricopa County sergeant outside a sheriff's substation in Fountain Hills on January 7.
Hamed, who was born in the US, has been described by police as a homegrown violent extremist in the process of 'radicalizing'.
He was trying to 'promote terror' by harming the deputy in the 'lone wolf' attack, according to investigators.
At a press conference on Thursday, Sheriff Paul Penzone played the body camera video as well as audio from a 911 call Hamed placed minutes before he was shot.
During the call, Hamed asked to speak with MCSO officers and warned the 911 dispatcher that he was armed with rocks and knife.
'I would like to do something in protest for the people suffering in Palestine and in the Middle East,' he says.
'I owe my allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.'
Police say Hamed called 911 and asked to speak with a law enforcement officer, telling a dispatcher that he was an ISIS supporter and warning that he was armed with rocks and a knife. A sergeant responded to the call and his body camera recorded the ensuing altercation
Hamed allegedly pulled out a knife and began advancing toward the sergeant, who issued multiple warnings telling the suspect to drop his weapon
When a sergeant showed up at the substation, his body camera filmed Hamed throwing rocks at him as the officer repeatedly shouts: 'Back off!'
Hamed then pulls out a knife and walks toward the sergeant.
'Drop it. Drop the knife. I will you shoot you,' the sergeant says.
The suspect ignores the warnings and keeps advancing before the sergeant fires two shots at him.
Hamed was taken to a hospital and then booked into jail on an aggravated assault charge the following day.
Prosecutors later tacked on a terrorism charge, alleging that Hamed provided 'advice, assistance, direction or management to the Islamic State of Iraq.
He pleaded not guilty to that charge on January 24 and is due back in court on March 8.
The sergeant fired two shots at Hamed, causing him to fall to the ground

The Maricopa County Attorney's Office made an effort to seal the probable cause statement, a police report, 911 calls and footage of the incident, but a judge ordered the release of those records earlier this week amid pressure from the media.
An initial press release from the sheriff's department said: 'On the afternoon of Monday, January 7, 2019 a caller repeatedly called 911 stating he wanted to talk to an MCSO deputy at the MCSO Fountain Hills Substation located at 16705 E. Ave. of the Fountains, Fountain Hills, AZ.
'At approximately 5:35pm an MCSO Sergeant went outside to the substation parking lot and contacted the subject, later identified as an 18-year old male from Fountain Hills.
'The male subject began throwing rocks at Sergeant. The suspect then brandished a knife and advanced towards the Sergeant, despite his repeated commands for him to drop the weapon.
'The Sergeant discharged his service weapon which incapacitated the suspect. First aid was rendered on scene and the suspect was transported to the hospital. At the time of this release the suspect is expected to survive his injuries.
'The investigation into this incident is ongoing and more details will be released as they become available.

Arizona...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
