The St. Paul (Minnesota) Police Department has released footage from a Dec. 7 shooting in which an officer was wounded and the suspect was killed.
The footage is from Officer Michael Tschida's bodycam and in-car camera while responding to a violation of an order for protection call, which resulted in the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Brandon Daleshaun Keys.
The video released Tuesday breaks down the events that led up to the shooting. In the footage, Tschida can be seen arriving at the scene as Keys is at the woman’s car window. The officer pulls his gun and tells Keys to get on the ground. Keys retreats behind his vehicle door, and an exchange of gunfire ensures.
Keys fired a handgun at Tschida and struck him in the lower leg. Tschida returned fire, striking Keys in the head, police say.
Officer Tschida was treated for his wound and released from the hospital. He was placed on standard administrative leave.
