Media staging is established at 500 South Orange Street.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOFFICER ACTIONS:<\/h3>\n There are only two body-worn camera videos that captured the actual officer-involved-critical incident. The BWC footage for both officers starts as they are pursuing the subject. The pursuit ended in an industrial area near 220 South Orange Street after the subject crashed the stolen vehicle, rendering it inoperable after becoming high-centered. After crashing, the subject remained in the vehicle. The involved officers, as they exited their vehicle, immediately began giving verbal commands for the subject to \u201cshow me your hands\u201d and \u201cdrop the gun.\u201d Instantaneously, shots, in rapid succession, were exchanged between the subject and the two officers. Upon exiting the driver side of the police car, one officer took cover behind the police car while engaged with the subject. Upon exiting the front passenger side of the police car, the other officer eventually took cover behind the police car while engaged with the subject. The subject exited the stolen vehicle from the front passenger side. There is a brief pause in the volley of gunshots, which is when one of the officers sees the subject running from the front passenger door of the vehicle and past the trunk in the direction of the officers. Both officers briefly continue to discharge their service weapons as the subject falls and briefly continue shooting as he is on the ground with the gun in close reach. A tactical approach, with responding and the involved officers, is formulated to approach the subject on the ground. After clearing the gun from the subject\u2019s immediate reach, emergency life-saving efforts are conducted. Life-saving efforts continued for approximately 15-20 minutes with officers and paramedics.<\/p>\n
STATEMENT FROM CHIEF MIKE BROWN:<\/h3>\n \u201cThis was a very dynamic, dangerous and traumatic situation for everyone, but I am proud of our officers for the way they protected each other and our community when faced with an unimaginable and deadly situation. Our officers performed with great courage, tactics and professionalism while under fire in a life-threatening situation. Their will to survive and dedication to protecting each other and our community under stress is extraordinary. I look forward to their return to work after the investigations are complete.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
