BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police have released body camera footage of a shooting that left a man hospitalized after he threatened people with knives at a bus stop.
It was the first time city police released footage that showed officers using potentially lethal force.
The shooting occurred Friday morning. The footage, downloaded from body cameras worn by two officers, shows them commanding a man holding two knives in his hands to drop the weapons. When the man refuses, one of the officers is shown deploying a stun gun to no effect. The officers then fire their service weapons.
The man was wounded and remained in the hospital five days after the shooting, but police say he is expected to survive. Police have not released the man’s name.
