Trigger Warning: This article contains references to the alleged self-harm and domestic violence that some readers may find distressing.

A domestic violence suspect attacked a police officer while being treated at a Southern California hospital on July 2, 2026.

The surveillance footage showed a man covered in blood charging at the police officer with a piece of glass to attack her. The Simi Valley Police Department released the security camera video on August 19.

Luis Ramirez-Macias, 46, was under police guard at the Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks. He attacked Simi Valley Police Officer Carly Grice, who then shot him to get control of the situation.

Police guarded him after he had tried to kill his wife earlier that day. Grice saw that Ramirez-Macias needed medical attention and went to call the hospital staff.

Ramirez-Macias got hold of a glass medical vial that he shattered and used to hurt himself. He then used that as a makeshift weapon to attempt an attack on the officer. The footage showed Ramirez-Macias naked and covered in blood, charging at the officer.


Grice then fired a single shot at him in self-defense and called for help. Ramirez-Macias was treated for his injuries and remained in the hospital for several days. When he was released, he was booked into Ventura County Main Jail.

Shortly after the incident, Los Robles stated that everyone was safe and the hospital was operating normally. The statement read, “Our priority remains providing uninterrupted, high-quality care for our patients.”

The same day, Ramirez-Macias allegedly stabbed his wife and then harmed himself over a domestic dispute. Both were hospitalized. 

Netizens praised the officer after watching the video of the incident. One Instagram user wrote, “She did great. She protected citizens and herself and served justice.”

A second one chimed in, “Great job, Officer Grice. Thank you for your service.” One more posted, “Fantastic actions on the part of this cop. Calmly neutralized the threat in a systematic and non-lethal manner, while under attack with a weapon no less.”

Meanwhile, Officer Carly Grice was named Simi Valley Police Department’s CIT Officer of the Year in 2025. She joined the department in 2021. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office confirmed this is an open investigation, and more details will be available soon.
