approved take him out when you get a
chance I'm going to pit on the passenger
side 230 back up a little bit
[Music]
[Music]
successful
[Music]
okay thean we're done you may have
noticed that the officer waited for
approval before making contact with the
suspect's vehicle this is not due solely
to the importance of Officer
coordination the last audibly recorded
speed of the suspect's vehicle was 66 m
per hour law enforcement agencies
generally consider any contact over 45 M
an hour to be uncontrolled unpredictable
and potentially deadly for everyone
involved pit Maneuvers at these speeds
are held for extremely special
circumstances like ones where a murder
suspect is involved after the pit
maneuver the officers wait for the
suspect to exit the vehicle with his
hands up they know the suspect is at
least still moving after the crash and
are keeping a safe distance to prepare
for the worst yeah you got a hand on
yeah hand on the steering wheel still

down stay from that
gun SEC him SEC him hey bring a medical
back
knees if you are confused about who
fired that gunshot You Are Not Alone In
fact even some of the officers on the
scene were confused about who had fired
the weapon at first listen to this
post-incident interview of the
firefighter Captain who arrived on scene
immediately after at some point you were
told that the patient had been shot can
you recall what information you were
given about that initial and it was just
I mean we were doing a job the verbiage
we heard was self-inflicted gunshot
wound of the head later they advised it
that was not the case and you heard that
over their radios or was it your
dispatch
it it was not on our end there there was
law enforcement I don't know if it came
out of an officer's mouth or if it was
radio dispatch but that that's that's
what we assumed paramedic had up at his
area of the incident and you said that
that that command came to uh take him
down and your words were take him out or
with a correct you had a clean shot shot
do you know who gave that
command H I can't I'm not 100% you know
I can recognize voices but I'm not 100%
saying it are you able to tell if it was
a trooper or if it was a command staff
member or well that's just the voice on
the radio so I would really be fair to
say that I I didn't know if there was
any like call sign that they lead with
no they just they'll just UN number that
way it's kind of generic nobody can
really figure out who it is you have an
opportunity take the shot when you saw
it did you see who shot at the suspect
no all I just heard is the rifle golf
okay when did you find out who did it um
I think right when he said I took the
shot that's did he do it shot thankfully
the body cam footage supported by post
incident interviews reveal who actually
fired their weapon the chase that took
place over 50 Mi comes to an abrupt end
when one of the officers fires their
AR-15 rifle shooting the suspect
according to an investigation conducted
by the Ohio Bureau of Investigation
although medical treatment was given and
the suspect was rushed to the hospital
soon afterwards he succumbed to his
gunshot injury roughly 2 weeks later
officials found an EAA 38 Special 357
Magnum Revolver on the suspect
themselves on the scene officials also
discovered a AO precision rifle with an
AR platform that was 223 caliber there
was also a 30 round capacity magazine
with 27 rounds and one spent
casing when asked about the details of
that situation this is what the
acquaintance he called on the phone had
to say was he alluding to Suicide or did
he did he go into more detail about that
at all or not well he had already told
me on told us on Saturday that that's
what his plan was to
commit did he say
why um he just said that he just hurt
somebody that's all he didn't go in
details to tell us what was going on he
just said he hurt somebody he's looking
like I up I fed up I up I'm sorry
up that's all he kept on saying did he
say how he would do it he's a security
officer so I was looking like where are
your weapons at and he said I got one I
got I think he said he had two in the
chamber or something like that and I was
looking like what do you mean he was
like up I'm sorry tell my nieces and and
then my brother and everybody I said I
apologize I love everybody I love
everybody
