Seattle Police Release Body Cam Video Of Deadly Shooting

SEATTLE, WA — The Seattle Police Department released video from two officers' body-worn cameras on Wednesday following a fatal police shooting in the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood Tuesday afternoon.

According to police, officers responded to multiple 911 calls about a man armed with a knife near West Harrison Street and Elliott Avenue West shortly before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The video clip includes audio of one 911 call, video from two officers and photographs of two knives.

Warning: this video contains graphic content which some may find disturbing:

Footage from the first officer shows him arriving at the scene, leaving his patrol car and yelling at the suspect to stop, before running down the sidewalk with several other officers and a police K-9. As the man nears an intersection, an officer yells "he's got the knife," and several gunshots can be heard.

Video of the second officer, who is holding the police dog's leash, shows the man slowly walking toward him as the officer shouts commands to get on the ground. The suspect throws a jacket at the officer and begins to run, and an officer comes into frame and fires a stun-gun.

The suspect turns around and the shooting begins.

Later in the clip, the video is edited to slow down the footage, and highlighted to show what appears to be two knives.

According to the Seattle Police Department, detectives from the Force Investigation Team and the Crime Scene Investigation unit responded to the scene, along with representatives from the Office of Police Accountability and the Office of the Inspector General.

Under standard protocol, the King County Sheriff's Office will complete an independent probe into both officers' use of force.

The man killed by police has not been formally identified.
