dramatic end at the montana-i'd doe border. it's the morning of june 14th, 2003. earlier over the radio, deputy sheriff david conway gets word that an officer has been shot. >> officer down. >> conway races towards scene when suddenly a gold ford taurus crosses three lanes of travel nearly running him off the road. >> he tried to ram me and somebody took a chance to take him out. inside the ford taurus is george davis, not only shot an officer, but he's killed a man and left six others wounded the nice before in a bar near ennis, montana. michael carroll was there. >> he had ran up a tab of 12 or 14 drinks and didn't have the funds to pay for it. >> it seemed like he was getting not just very upset but just like distraught about the whole issue of it.

>> carroll says he paid davis' bar tab hoping he would leave. davis does leave the bar but shows up outside moments later and suddenly opens fire. >> one of carroll's friends is shot and killed crossing the street. george davis then turns his gun on michael carroll. >> george davis was in front of me. he raised the gun up and looked at me and kind of was with almost black piercing eyes looked right through me. started to turn around and kind of hunched over and he shot me and the bullet went into right above my belly button. >> luckily someone pulls carroll back inside the bar before davis can shoot him again, but carroll's girlfriend at the time is outside and davis shoots her in the hip. soon after he goes back to his car and drives off. davis drives through the montana night. the next morning deputy bernie

alstad pulls him over for speeding, but before the deputy can get out of the character the davis attacks shooting up his vehicle. the deputy is wounded, and davis is also hit, but he gets away. that's when deputy conway gets the call that an overs is down, and the he's nearly run off the road. montana trooper jason hildtenstad joins conway in the chase. is working an extra shift and just clocked in so he's loss onga gas. >> that was going to be my first order of business to get my car filled up, and unknown that i would be in a long high-speed pursuit in a matter of minutes. >> there's no time to lose, and before he knows it hildenstab is chasing davis at speeds of 120 miles per hour. >> you've just come on. i'm going pretty run out pretty soon. >> hildenstab is running

otellini and can't keep up with davis. >> you don't have the power? >> just not having the power. >> hildenstab takes the lead in the pursuit and edges close to the suspect. >> looking up at the rear view mirror, giving me the eyeball and combing his hair. during the pursuit i was pretty stunned that he was that focused and not that relaxed. he had just been in a gun fight. >> suddenly driving more than 100 miles an hour davis slams on his brakes and then maneuvers to face officer hildenstab is get on the ground! get on the ground. >> davis takes cover and steadily aims his .45 automatic at hildenstab. >> when one is shooting at you that close, the muzzle looks like it's pointed right at your head, and it was surprising that after each round he fired and i felt i'd be hit. >> hildenstab takes cover behind

his vehicle and avoids davis' fire. deputy conway arrives on the scene, but just as the two officers engage davis her, jumps back in his car and speeds away. hildenstab's car is riddled with bullet and inoperable so he jumps into conway's car to continue the pursuit. >> the suspect is now moving again westbound highway 12. >> davis drives completely out of sight, but there's a backup plan in motion. >> going to set up spikes. >> conway wants spikes to be set up down the road to deflate davis' tires. by this point the chase has almost reached the state line. >> i don't have anyone in the area. >> up ahead, an idaho state placeman lays down the spikes with seconds to spare. >> they are coming. >> watch up!

>> davis runs over the spikes. aries capes rapidly from his tires and he's slowing down, but george davis is not giving up. somehow he maneuvers his disabled vehicle to face his pursuers. >> i heard our engine rev up and i knew deputy conway decided, he didn't announce it to me but i knew he was going to ram him. >> conway rams the ford taurus at close to 60 miles an hour with the officer speeding towards him. davis actually opens his door so he can get a clearer shot, but he misses. as the smoke clears deputy conway is okay but hildenstab, whose seat belt is broken, was thrown into the windshield. >> it blinded me. i had all kinds of glass shards in my eyes. >> stay down! stay down! >> hildenstab's leg is broken and he's writhing in pain on the ground. the idaho policeman drags him

behind conway's car to take cover. >> stay down. stay down right here. right here. stay down. put your hands outside the door. right now! put that left hand outside the door! >> amazingly, davis' gun which was thrown upwards from the impact of the collision has landed back in his car. >> you could see later in looking at the videotapes that he was trying to retrieve the gun again. he hadn't given up the fight yet. >> but davis has run out of luck. he has gunshot wounds and an injured back, and he's going nowhere. >> keep your hands up! >> the idaho policeman handcuffs davis and pulls him out of the vehicle. still conscious, davis strikes up a conversation. >> i don't know, was it fun to you? >> it was a rush. >> what a rush, huh? wish we would have killed you? >> hildenstab is still nursing his broken leg, but he says his pain is overtaken by the intense

emotion of knowing he's helped capture george davis. >> i was just so probably in exhilaration i'll never feel in my life again. i was happy. it was just a great feeling. it seemed like at the time one of the happiest moments in my life. i had got this guy stopped. and i survived it. >> as davis' shooting spree comes to an end, one of his victims, michael carroll, is struggling to survive. >> my son had just turned 5 two days ago. like he could not have a dad all of a sudden. like that was a really powerful thing for me. >> to everyone's surprise, carroll pulls through, as do the five others who survived the shooting in ennis, but there's a long road to recovery for carroll. >> getting shot was easy. the really hard part was recovery. >> before the shooting, carroll weighs 165 pounds. after his recovery, he's down to

112, and his rage is overwhelming. >> the more i sat there and hated him, even though he was in a small jail cell and i was out in the open, it was still giving him the power over me. >> on the day the 46-year-old davis is sentenced to life in prison without parole, carroll confronts him in the courtroom. >> i made sure to tell him that if he had all thought like he had done anything to hurt the people in this town, like it had the opposite effect. it was amazing how much it brought this town together, united people. >> the people of ennis, montana rally around carroll with boundless support. even offering him free medical care. carroll and his son are closer than ever, and they don't have to worry about george davis. >> it would be a much different feeling knowing that he was out and not caught.

so i'm very thankful for that. the jobs that a cop has to do every day, it's amazing. i have a lot of respect for what they do. coming up -- an epic collision. an ambulance pulled over. >> you better get back in that ambulance. i'm talking to the driver. >> and a miracle on a bridge. when "caught on camera: dash cam diaries" continues. yes she is, yes she is.

caught on camera, a heated argument between a state trooper and a paramedic on his way to the hospital with a patient. may 24th, 2009. dash cam video shows oklahoma trooper daniel martin trying to pass an ambulance that is slow to let him by. the trooper scolds the driver over his radio. >> you got to watch your rear view mirror. >> paramedic maurice white, caring for a patient in the ambulance, says his driver hasn't seen the trooper because he was driving in the ambulance's blind spot. a few minutes later, trooper martin pulls over the ambulance. what follows on the dashboard video is a bizarre encounter. >> here, now. >> what's wrong? what's going on? >> i'm talking to the driver. >> i'm talking to you. >> you better get back in that ambulance. i'm talking to the driver. >> i'm in charge of this unit, sir. >> okay. >> the trooper thinks that the ambulance driver, paul franks, gave him the finger earlier.

>> you don't need to give me no hand gestures now. i ain't going to put up with that. you understand me? >> i know the character of paul franks. that's just something he wouldn't do. >> i won't put up with you talking to my driver like that. >> i ain't listening to you, buddy. you get back in that ambulance you get your [ muted ] back in that ambulance or i'll take you in. i'm talking to the driver. >> paramedic white says he wouldn't let the trooper talk to his driver because he believed his patient would suffer from any delay. he tells the trooper about the patient, but the trooper persists. >> we got a patient in this unit right now. >> you want to go ahead and pull over to the side of the road when there's an emergency vehicle behind you? >> the logical thing to do would be to take it up at the hospital or take it up with us later. but he totally ignored my statement that we have a patient on board. >> you better get back in that ambulance before you get your butt to jail now. you understand me? >> after we take the patient to the hospital, you can take me to jail. we will discuss this, okay? >> paramedic white refuses to back down. his patient has fainted in her home and has a history of heart

trouble. trooper martin tries to put the paramedic in handcuffs. >> hey, hey. >> on the dash cam video, the patient's family starts to gather. they have been following the ambulance to the hospital. the patient's husband reminds the trooper that his wife is waiting in the ambulance, but the argument continues. [ shouting ] >> you turn around now. >> the trooper releases the paramedic and the crowd breaks up. paramedic white returns to his ambulance, where his patient is extremely distraught. >> if you can imagine yourself, you're on a cot in an ambulance, you're basically helpless in that position, and you can hear your family members screaming. she was extremely upset. >> what's worse, the confrontation's not over yet.

the patient's husband tries again to intervene. >> my wife needs to go to the hospital. i understand that. >> if he wouldn't have come out here, you could have been on the way about five minutes ago, partner. now step back. >> the driver tries his best to defuse the tense situation. >> i'm sorry, i didn't see you coming. >> i was just trying to talk to you about it. i didn't need your manager or whoever it is in the back, paramedic, whoever happens to be in charge, to get out, okay? you understand? >> yes, sir, i do. >> trooper martin tells the driver that he plans to arrest the paramedic. >> he's going to jail. yes. you don't jump out and talk to a state trooper like that. you understand me? i don't care who you are. you're not running code. you're not running emergency, okay? all right? i didn't just get up behind you and turn on my red lights and siren. i've been going hot over here, you understand? >> yes, sir, i do. >> the video shows the ambulance wasn't running lights and sirens.

white says that's because he didn't want to excite the patient. but now, that's a moot point. as a second officer arrives, the trooper goes to check on the patient. still having little idea about her condition. >> ma'am, we're going to get you on to the hospital here just directly, okay? you're going to jail, you understand me? you're under arrest. you are under arrest. gets heated. a family member's cell phone camera captured trooper martin attempting to restrain the paramedic. the paramedic shoves the trooper and the patient starts to scream. trooper martin then places paramedic white in a choke hold. a few moments later, the trooper backs off. >> i think maybe just having that second officer there helped bring martin under control a little bit, enough that he could just have that moment of clarity to realize what he was doing was not in his best interest, my best interest and most importantly, in the patient's best interest.

>> the trooper allows the ambulance to leave and follows it to the hospital. when they arrive, paramedic white checks in his patient, who is released later that day. the paramedic then turns himself in. >> i went back outside to the second trooper on scene and i told him that at this point, you can arrest me, i released my patient care to the nurse. >> but after everything that happened, white is never arrested. trooper martin did not respond to interview requests through his lawyer, but in a press conference, his lawyer says paramedic white delayed the patient by not letting martin talk directly to driver paul franks. >> the trooper martin's belief was if i could sit down and talk to paul, that we could have ended this very quickly. mr. white is trying to control the scene. >> paramedic white says the incident was a fluid situation and in the heat of the moment, he did what he thought was right.

>> i did not deem it in the best interest of the patient to permit him to handcuff and arrest me at that time. >> paramedic white is suing trooper martin for violating his civil rights. the patient is also suing the trooper and the oklahoma highway patrol for negligence. trooper martin and the highway patrol are contesting the claims. >> if we allow people to get out of vehicles and try to handle the traffic stop other than the driver, that's chaos. >> the state of oklahoma gives trooper martin a five-day suspension and an order to report for an anger assessment. paramedic white believes trooper martin may have offered an explanation for his behavior on the road that day. white refers to a conversation he says the two of them had outside the hospital after the incident. >> he made the statement that i don't know how we got to this point. we worked together before. and i simply said i don't know how we got here, either, and he said well, i just recently came

back from iraq. >> trooper martin had served in iraq and returned just weeks before. whatever the reason for the strange encounter, both the trooper and the paramedic won't soon forget the traffic stop that turned ugly. coming up -- an officer makes a last second save. when "caught on camera dash cam diaries" continues.

welcome back to "caught on camera." i'm contessa brewer. even an ordinary day for police on patrol can turn into a life or death situation. with dash cams rolling, officers can relive their most frightening moments. on a stretch of road, a police officer saves a young man's life while putting his own in jeopardy.

it's a cold day in february 2010. lieutenant john lambert responds to a call near cleveland, ohio, where a teenager's car has hit a barrier after he lost control in the snow. >> hello, there. >> lambert, a 22-year veteran of the force, is keeping a watchful eye for oncoming cars. while the teenager is getting his driver's license, lieutenant lambert appears to glance nervously down the road. a few seconds later, disaster strikes. an out-of-control vehicle crashes into lambert and the teen, all caught on the lieutenant's dashboard camera. unbelievably, lambert is able to push the teenager out of harm's way. >> i was positive i was dead. you see a car flying at you going 40 miles per hour, you think you're done. >> the teen walks away from the collision but lambert's thrown over the guardrail, seriously injured. the woman who hit him,

30-year-old katherine dagostino, calls 911. as other officers arrive on the scene, she is beside herself. the teen consoles her as she waves an ambulance over to the scene. lambert is carefully lifted out and taken to the hospital. >> i realized that i am lucky to be alive. >> incredibly, lieutenant lambert survives the collision but he's taken a beating. he has a fractured pelvis, tailbone, a broken left eye socket. >> he has fractures in this bone right here as well as fractures in this bone. >> in the days after the accident, doctors say the 42-year-old lambert could face a year of physical rehabilitation. >> i do not remember much from the accident itself. but the next thing i remember is waking up in the ambulance. >> it's not unlike john to think of someone else first before he thought of himself. >> flash forward seven months and lambert is much improved.
