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 mph law enforcement agencies generally consider any contact over 45 mph 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 the driver Mo 399

watch hand stay from that gun secure him secure him hey bring a medical back knees okay did he do it 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 POS 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 that 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 author of 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 the command came to uh take him down and your words were to 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% of saying it are you able to tell if it was a trooper or if it was a command staff member or well that just a voice on the radio so would 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 opp 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 did he do it thankfully the body cam footage supported by post incident interviews reveal who actually fired their weapon the chase that took place over 50 miles 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 35 57 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 up I fued up I'm sorry up that's all he kep 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 sorry tell my nieces and
