The video is yet another good reminder how quickly things can potentially turn deadly for police.
The Louisville Metro Police Department (LMD) in Kentucky just released body cam footage where they responded to a domestic violence call where a firearm was reported to be inside the residence.
The incident occurred back on October 26th.
"While investigating the complaint, officers spoke to 37-year-old Ivan Foster who was being asked to leave the residence by the homeowner.
Officers followed him into a bedroom to gather his personal items, at which time Foster became increasingly agitated. Officers began giving repeated verbal commands to Foster, to stop reaching into a stack of clothes and to sit on the bed. Based on the body cam footage captured by officer Timothy Lanham, Foster proceeded to retrieve a firearm, that had been concealed in a pile of clothes, on top of a dresser and fired a weapon striking the police radio Seabolt was wearing on his hip.
Officer Seabolt immediately attempted to gain control of the firearm from Foster, at which time Foster began making verbal threats that he was going to kill officer Seabolt. Officer Lanham fired several rounds from his firearm and fatally struck the subject. A second body cam video obtained from LMPD of officer Seabolt, shows officer Seabolt attempting to gain control of the firearm ending up on his back in the bed.
EMS responded to the residence and pronounced Foster deceased at the scene."
