Before confronting Maricopa County Sheriff’s Deputy Sergeant Brandon Wells the evening of Monday, Jan. 7, Ismail Hamed told an MCSO dispatcher that he “had allegiance” to the Islamic state and was eager to talk to a deputy about his concerns for “suffering” people.

Last week the Sheriff’s Office released audio tapes for two 911 calls Hamed made before the confrontation, the video from the deputy’s body camera and heavily redacted charging documents. Initially sealed by a judge, the documents were ordered released after a legal challenge by Valley media outlets.

Sheriff Paul Penzone and the Phoenix FBI office are still refusing to talk about details of the investigation but, using the material released along with previously known information, there is emerging a picture of what happened that evening.

Sometime around 5 p.m. the 18-year-old Hamed walked to Town Hall at Avenue of the Fountains and La Montana Drive. The Sheriff’s District 7 substation is located in the building.

Town officials have confirmed that Hamed was known to be inside Town Hall. He reportedly talked with personnel who told him he would need to contact the MCSO dispatch to have a deputy assigned to talk with him.

Hamed apparently left the building and went outside to the parking lot where he used a cell phone to make that call to the sheriff’s dispatch. He called 911 after he apparently received no response on the non-emergency line. He told dispatchers that he was at Town Hall in Fountain Hills.

In the first of two calls Hamed told the dispatcher he wanted to see a deputy to “do something in protest.” He said he wanted to “talk to a cop real quick,” and it was “really important that he talk to them face to face.”

During the second call to 911 Hamed told the dispatcher he had “allegiance to the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria.” He said he would like a cop to come so he could “deal with them.” He said he was protesting for the people suffering in Palestine and the Middle East.

The dispatcher asked Hamed if he had any weapons and he replied that he had rocks and a knife.

During both calls Hamed asked the dispatchers repeatedly how long it would take to get a deputy to the scene. He was told that was unclear, but someone was being dispatched.

During the course of the two calls deputies in Fountain Hills were dispatched to respond. At this time Wells, who was inside the offices, left the building to go to the parking lot to check information regarding the call on the computer in his vehicle. He was reportedly unaware that Hamed was outside the building. He reported observing a man walking back and forth on the sidewalk along the street.

As Wells was looking at the computer he noticed Hamed, dressed in dark clothing, approaching in the fading early evening light. The deputy turned on his body camera to record what came next.

Hamed’s voice cannot be heard clearly on the video, but the deputy asks him what is going on to initiate a conversation. He asks Hamed if he lives in town and when he asks for identification Hamed reaches into his pocket and pulls out a rock and throws it at the deputy. Wells was struck by more than one rock.

As Hamed moves back the deputy draws his weapon. By this time Hamed is brandishing a knife and is approaching the deputy with the knife raised.

Wells begins urging Hamed to put the knife down and repeats the order a number of times before saying “I will shoot you.” Hamed reportedly said “shoot me” repeatedly during the confrontation.

A moment later there is the sound of two shots, and Hamed is next seen lying on the ground, pulled into a fetal position.

Wells continues to admonish Hamed, who remains conscious and moaning, to get rid of the knife even as he is lying there. The knife is eventually tossed aside.

By this time additional deputies are arriving on the scene and fire department medics are called.

Lying wounded on the ground, Hamed is searched for additional weapons and placed in handcuffs.

Soon after this point medics take over to treat Hamed and transport him to the hospital.

Hamed was initially charged with two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. Since that time, charges of terrorism have been added and the FBI has been involved in the investigation since the beginning.

FBI officials have described Hamed as a “lone wolf” and the charging documents state that his actions including claiming allegiance to the Islamic State, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization since 2015, are consistent with others committing acts of terrorism including the Orlando nightclub and San Bernardino shooters.

It has been reported by the Sheriff’s Office that Hamed has been released from the hospital and is in custody.
