Using the patrol car's PA system, the deputy ordered the driver to pull over. But what he >> So, by the way, driving too slow is, I think, one of the top 10 sign cues for impairment in driving behavior. Driving too fast is not, but driving too slow, 10 mph or more under the speed limit, is a sign of potential uh uh intoxication or drug impairment. >> didn't know was that this routine stop was about to unravel into something far more violent than anyone could have imagined. >> I was laying there on the white colored suburban gray. >> You got your vehicle in park, sir? >> Uh no, sir. >> Put it in park. >> Are you sure I can do that? >> Yeah, put it in park. >> I'll put it in park. >> Put it in park. >> All right.

GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE! >> SO, DAYTON JUST ASKED ME WHY I JUST opened fire? Yeah. It's a threat. So, what I would do is kind of what he's doing, but I I had a rifle, so I would have immediately popped out with my rifle. This is a much better gun for this distance. And I would have I mean, he's already shot you, so you're already in a lethal force situation. You know there's a gun in the car. It is a life or death situation right now. I think he would have absolutely been justified getting out and using deadly force. I might even have come up and rammed him, right? If just rammed his car. I don't know. These are tough ones cuz you're only the guy on scene can really do tell you, but I there's absolutely justification for deadly force at THIS POINT. >> GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE!

Right there, boom. You can open up fire right there. You're running the risk of him shooting at you again. >> He's coming back toward gray. He turned around. >> The man who shot >> Now you got to send him back. >> later identified as 28-year-old Zachary. And with the suspect repeatedly slipping through their grasp, the pursuing deputies had to step up their game and were forced to use advanced tactics to finally stop him on his tracks. >> Run him off the road. He's a danger. He's a He's waving them on. Unbelievable. >> He's trying to wave us around. >> Man, he turned right in front of that other guy and >> If it's um I'm going to try to get just past Green 7 and put down spikes.

So, what he did he pulled off the road so that he can stand in the dark and you don't see him. We've seen cars that will swerve and hit our our law enforcement guys. Okay, so I don't know if this is a trooper. Coming up on Green Settlement right now. All right, Sheriff Hawkins, we're passing We're coming up on Green Settlement right now.

Good pit. >> Shoot him. >> Stuck in a ditch with multiple deputies closing in from both sides, the harsh reality begins to set in. Zachary has nowhere to go and nowhere to hide. And now, he's about to realize that shooting an officer of the law at point-blank range was the greatest mistake he could ever make. >> GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE! GUN! [screaming] GUN! GUN! GUN!

According to the Georgia Department of Corrections, Zachary was found dead at Johnson State Prison early this morning. The Department of Corrections says the cause of death is undetermined at this time. However, there are no reports of an altercation and no signs of foul play. His body will be taken to the GBI Crime Lab to determine the official cause of death. >> Though the cause of Zachary's death was never officially confirmed, his family later went public saying it stemmed from a long history of untreated mental health issues that allegedly worsened during his time in prison. >> 20 years, I'm grateful that the deputy went home safe to his family that night and thank goodness for the bulletproof vest and thank goodness for God's grace that saved him that night.
