Incredible video.
Last week, Albuquerque police released drone and body cam video showing an officer-involved fatal shooting of a man who killed one person and injured another two.
Three officers responding to reports of an “active shooter” on March 14th approached John Dawson, 52, after he exited the house about 40 minutes after the shootings. They were under the impression Hunter was surrendering but he “suddenly got to his feet and advanced on the officers,” police said Friday.
Here’s the body cam video of the shooting:

Three bean-bag rounds were deployed before Hunter began to pick up one of two handguns on the ground, “at which time three officers discharged their rifles,” police said.
The officers fired 12 shots. At least one struck Hunter, killing him.
Police spokesman Gilbert Gallego said earlier investigators believed Hunter was suffering from some sort of mental crisis when he started shooting randomly at people. Alicia Hall was shot and killed in her van at a stop sign at Montgomery Boulevard and Glenwood Hills NE.”
