Caught on cam: Man points gun at Phoenix couple’s door

PHOENIX – A terrifying moment for a Valley couple when a man showed up to their home, pointing a gun directly at the door. And it’s all caught on camera through their home security footage.

What’s next:

The couple said they didn’t recognize the man at all, and have no clue if or why they were specifically targeted.

The incident happened near the area of 75th Avenue and Camelback. The couple looked at their Ring camera app after hearing someone aggressively knocking at their front door around 7 p.m. on Dec. 12. 

That’s when they saw a man pointing a gun at the door.

That man is then seen on camera walking over to the driveway and puncturing the tires of one of their cars. 

Dig deeper:

By the time Phoenix Police got to the home, the man was nowhere to be found. Officers are still looking for him, and the couple fears he could come back.

What they’re saying:

“We ended up packing a bag and just leaving while the cops were still there,” the victim said. “After we finished our report, we stayed with my in-laws for the night. And then today, we just don’t feel safe staying at home. So we’re getting out of here.”

What’s next:

The couple asked to stay anonymous but wants to warn the community about this man as Phoenix police continue their investigation.
