SCOTTSDALE, AZ (KPNX) -- An Arizona man was shot to death by police Tuesday while holding his grandson.
Police say 50-year-old John Loxas was holding his grandchild in his arms as he walked around his Scottsdale neighborhood Tuesday night threatening neighbors and police.
"There were at least three officers in position to engage the suspect. At least one of the officers thought he saw something in the suspect's hands," said Sgt. Mark Clark.
Loxas was standing outside of his home with his grandchild still in his arms when Officer James Peters fired one shot to the head, killing the suspect.
Police say the 9-month-old boy was not injured during the shooting.
Officers also escaped unharmed.
Some neighbors are now questioning the officers actions.
Investigators say the officers on the scene thought Loxas was holding a gun.
Detectives did not find a weapon on Loxas following the shooting, but did locate several firearms inside the home.
Officer Peters, who fired the fatal shot, has been involved in seven shootings over the past decade.
Six of those have been fatal, and all have been ruled justified.
Six confirmed kills. He must be the pride of the force, and a pig seriously in need of killing.
Oh, I agree completely.

Trust me, Brian, it does me no pleasure to post these articles.
I've noticed over the last five years, the police have gotten far more aggressive and militant, in their attitudes.
This was confirmed a year ago, I had a run-in with the local PD, over a completely bogus issue, which was completely obvious (as bogus) at the time. They shook me down for $1000, without the slightest hesitation.

He retired, and keeps a very low profile... No wonder- if his location were public knowledge, he'd already be pushing daisies, I think...
