Body Camera Footage From Police Shooting Of Tekle Sundberg Released

MINNEAPOLIS — The city of Minneapolis Wednesday released the body camera footage from the standoff between police and Andrew "Tekle" Sundberg, including when police fatally shot the 20-year-old Black man.

Police said the footage had to be whittled down from the dozens of body camera recordings of the standoff.

"With more than 50 officers involved over the span of more than six hours, there are hundreds of hours of body camera video and audio to review," police said before releasing the video.

"Consistent with legal requirements and protocol, Minneapolis Police Department personnel are working through the process to redact elements of video, such as identities, that will be viewed in the short term."

At one point in the video, Sundberg apparently shoots at an officer through a door in the apartment complex, nearly missing.

The video also shows officers rescuing a mother and her two young children. However, it does not show what Sundberg does before officers fired the fatal shots, which ended the standoff.

The video contains graphic images that may be disturbing:

On the evening of July 13, a mother called police after Sundberg, 20, shot into her third-floor apartment through the walls, authorities said. The gunshots nearly missed her and two boys, ages 2 and 4, the mother said.

Six hours later, at about 4:30 a.m. on July 14, two Minneapolis officers shot and killed Sundberg. The officers were identified as Aaron Pearson and Zachary Seraphine.

A vigil was set up outside of the apartment complex where the standoff took place, and Black Lives Matter protesters gathered there Saturday. The mother who reported being shot at by Sundberg confronted the protesters, a video from KARE 11 reporter Deevon Rahming shows.
