Commander Greg Scott Carnicle, 56, was killed in the line of duty on March 29, 2020, after responding to a domestic disturbance involving roommates at an apartment near 40th Drive and Pinnacle Peak Street in Phoenix. A 31-year veteran of the Phoenix Police Department and months away from retirement, Carnicle and two fellow officers made contact with one of the residents when that man suddenly opened fire. All three officers were struck; Carnicle’s wounds proved fatal and he died after being taken to a local hospital. The two other officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Tactical units who responded later shot and killed the man responsible as they attempted to take him into custody. Commander Carnicle is survived by a wife and four children. If anyone in the Phoenix area remembers the scene or has information about the incident, please share what is known.
