intersection. >> ford focus. >> and pointing eastbound telling me, hey, he went that way. he went that way. >> sure enough he spots a white focus a few blocks ahead. >> it's 23rd and lakeside turning south. >> as soon as he turned that's when i activated my siren. >> the suspect doesn't stop and as he turns onto the lake drive warning bells go off in reed's head. >> the road dead ends after five miles, we've just been briefed that there was going to be the bike ride that includes a family bike ride going to end right at that dead end. i knew he had to be stopped before he got to the end otherwise a lot of people would be in a very dangerous situation. >> officer reed has less than five miles to make his move. but assuming the suspect is still armed, he keeps a safe distance looking for an opportunity. >> i was prepared to do anything

that i needed to do to stop him, make sure everybody was safe. i kept to the passenger side because i could see that the suspect's window was rolled dound and that the suspect was looking at me through the rearview mirror on the driver's side. if i got to the driver's side the suspect could hold the gun out the window and shoot at me. >> as the chase continues up the winding road, reed turns too wide and ends up in the suspect's line of fire. >> whoa. shots fired. >> i went to his driver's side and as soon as i broke that plane of the driver's side held a gun out and shot at me. >> he keeps his foot on the gas and the end of the road rapidly approaching. >> i know we're getting close to the end and hoping there's an opportunity to stop this. the suspect had already shot someone, shooting at police. i decided to grab my rifle to have a weapon i could rely on.

>> reed readies his ar-15 negotiating the tight turns with the assault rifle in his hands. >> i'm trying to hold onto the wheel and manipulate the sites on the rifle, it took a lot of multitasking. >> reed isn't the only one having trouble with twists in the road. >> the suspect moves to the left side of the road and the tires leave the road into the dirt. and it causes the suspect to actually spin out see the suspect's arm come up holding the gun and knew they were going to try to shoot me. i looked through sites in my rifle and shot a few times through my windshield. it's either try to stop the suspect or try to at least disrupt them until other officers arrive. the sound of the gunfire is deafening. >> felt like two ice picks being

dug into each one of my ears. every time we pulled the trigger, you could feel it in each much your ears. >> reed doesn't stop shooting. >> trying to keep my sites on the suspect and trying to end the threat. >> watch from another angle as reed's body cam captures the shots. >> i exited my vehicle and got to a different position to cover and rounds are still going off. [ gunshots ] >> another officer's body cam records the chaotic scene. >> show your hands. >> i could see the suspect still moving and other guys were shooting. i shoot a few more rounds and see the suspect slump over in his seat. >> and immediately i start calling to cease fire. >> there's a lull in the air as the firing stops. an officer gets a bull horn to

address the suspect. >> put your hands out the window. do it now. >> there's no response. >> you don't know if he's lying in wait. don't know if they are incapacity ated or deceased but we have to go and find out. i notice the windshield was heavily damaged. there were holes in the door and eventually we could see the suspect in the vehicle. >> the suspect is morally wounded. >> we approached the car and tried to give demands to the suspect. >> the suspect put your hands on the wheel. >> when they were unable or unwilling to comply then we had to take them into custody. >> a medical unit is dispatched but the suspect dies on scene. just short of the end of the road. an investigation by local prosecutors later concludes that the shooting was justified. >> with the suspect spinning outward that could be a mistake

or divine intervention but couldn't have stopped him any better and kept him from getting to the end. >> november 17th, 2009, officer greg toyhe ess, a 23 year veter is on pa roll when a car cuts in front of him during a left turn. >> as soon as he cut me off, i honked my horn and he finally put on his turn signal. as soon as he made his left that's when i lit him up. >> the car pulls into a grocery store parking lot. >> you cult me off back there. there's two lanes that turn there. >> i asked for the driver's license and he stated he didn't have one. >> what's your social security number? >> i don't know my social security. >> i'm kind of apprehensive now. he didn't know his social security or had no i.d. i told him to open the door and he does. what are you doing? we're going to go back to my

car? am i understand arrest? >> i have to find out who you are. with that he starts reaching with his right hand in the back seat. >> don't reach. don't reach. >> his whole upper body turned around looking for something, i knew it wasn't something small. i didn't want to be part of it. >> i backed away from the car and draw my gun on him because i don't know what he's going for. >> get out of there. >> something didn't feel right. >> he came out with a gun in his right hand and takes off running. >> officer toyess gives chase along the side of the parking lot. i run along the building and get to the side and he disappears. >> the suspect emerges a few minutes later behind a nearby car wash caught on this security video. he attempts to hijack a utility truck just as officer cheyenne snyder arrives on the scene. >> when the suspect climbed into the passenger side of the utility truck, officer snyder came up and opened the driver's

side door and wound up tasing him. >> it's a direct hit but the suspect is still able to close the door. >> other units converge including a plain clothes officer, kevin newman. >> when i see officer snyder at the side of the truck, couldn't see a gun in his hand. >> the suspect fires but the bullet ricochets off the door of the truck. officer new marn returns fire hitting the suspect. >> it happened so quick -- >> i just shot him, incompass tated in the white truck. >> already done firing and on the radio showing shots fired. >> officers toyes and newman approach the vehicle and discover that the suspect is dead. soon after the shooting, investigators using dna get a hit on the suspect in their criminal data base. >> a week prior to this my

traffic stop he robbed a bank. and smoked a cigarette and threw it down on the ground. they wound up taking the cigarette butt and getting a dna swab off of that. i believe the subject was connecting dots thinking that we knew that he had robbed a bank. nobody should have died over it. >> when he watches the incident unfold on video officer toyes is reminded even the most routine stops -- >> the reason i'm pulling you over you cut me off -- >> can escalate in a second. >> very important to go home every day at the end of the shift. i've got a wife and two boys and got to go home. got to make sure everybody else goes home too. >> coming up -- a suspect goes to desperate lengths and heights to elude police. >> don't do it.

a police chase to catch a suspected car thief leads to an unexpected outcome. >> don't do it! >> january 8th, 2014, officer jeremy costello, an eight-year veteran of the oregon police department just started his afternoon shoot. a car across the intersection catches his attention. >> it was rolling forward with a pedestrian in the crosswalk. she started to make a left turn and i thought she was going the hit the pedestrian in the crosswalk. after the pedestrian cleared the

travel lane, she made an improper left turn. the driver has now committed two traffic infractions. as she passes by the cruiser he makes a u-turn and follows her. >> i noticed that as i a approached her, she almost turned into on coming traffic again. at that point i decided to make a stop. >> the car turns into a parking lot but doesn't park. officer costello realizes what's happening is more serious than he had first thought. >> a ran a dmv check and found the vehicle was reported stolen. >> the situation escalated from a minor traffic stop to grand theft auto. >> when we are responding to a stolen vehicle, it comes into question, how did they obtain the stolen vehicle, by force and are there weapons involved. >> then he sees her exit the parking lot, and take off the rainy roads make it more dangerous.

>> her driving at the time was okay for the conditions. she was not going into oncoming traffic. she was not blowing through a red lixt she was maintaining her lane. in my mind i could continue this pursuit based on the conditions. >> after several miles, the chase nears a bridge. >> so in my mind i am wondering how to get this vehicle to stop. can i perform a pit and stop technique and end the pursuit. >> but he does not anticipate what happens next. >> i did not anticipate her stopping in the middle of a bridge and get out. i thought a foot chase was about to ensue and i was going to need to set up a perimeter and k-9 unit. i did not expect her to go to the bridge rail. i thought we were going to have a standoff here with me shouting at her to convince her to get off of the bridge rail and it is worth it. >> but she does not give him time to reason with her. >> don't do it! >> officer costello rushes to

the rail thinking the worst. the jump was extremely dangerous, and i did not expect her to survive it. as she jumped over, i can't believe she actually just did that. >> the woman climbs over the rail and jumps into the river below. >> and she jumped into the river, and get the river patrol headed this way. >> the water temperature is in the 30s, and at best low 40s, and the bridge jump is 50 to 55 feet in height and she's jumping into a river that isn't very deep. >> officer costello scans the water for signs of life. >> i saw that she had popped back up, and at the surface and moving the arm, and so at that point, i knew that she was at least alive. >> the woman had survived the icy plunge and swims to shore and met by backup units. >> she admitted later that it was a batd decision and wasn't

worth it. >> she is transported to the hospital and minor injuries and charged with unlawful use of a vehicle and reckless endang endangerment and pleads guilty. a week after the encounter on the bridge, she and officer costello cross paths once more. >> i actually arrest her again on some car prowls and mote thefts from a vehicle. >> the arrest gives them an opportunity to reminisce. >> i talked to her briefly about the video making the news. >> officer costello is conflicted about the chase that went viral. >> i have mixed feelings about that. i think it is interesting that i am part of something like this, but on the other hand, i know that the officers around here do so many more incredible things that never do make the news. a lot of it is because it is not captured on camera. >> don't do it! coming up, an alarming

with xfinity x1. a 911 call leads a police officer into a dangerous standoff. >> get on the ground! get on the ground! >> i don't know if the suspect is going to attack me. get close and pull out a handgun. i was authorized to use deadly force at this time. >> january 4th, 2015, officer ben luna, a 16-year veteran of the duncanville, texas, police department is on traffic duty when a call comes over his radio. >> 911, location of the emergency? >> yes, ma'am, i'm here at the 67th on this 7-eleven are walking around here and they just walked across the street.

he has on green pants and gray hoodie. >> does he have a gun? >> he has got a big gun. >> i start heading that way. as soon as i make the right turn, maybe not even half a block i see teenagers matching the description. the subject with the handgun was wearing great sweater and my eyes were focused on him. as i pull up, he looks back and makes a movement towards his waistband. at that time i stop my car, and come out with my hand gun drawn and give loud verbal commands. when you are dispatched to the subject with a handgun, the stakes are so much higher. >> none of the suspects follows the commands. i don't care, get on the ground. >> the subject in the gray

sweater is walking towards me. as i am looking at the other two teens, they are making movements to the pocket, and at that time, i don't know if there are multiple weapons involved, and i am giving the loud verbal commands, hands up, stop, stop. >> but the suspect in gray does not stop. he is saying that it is a b.b. gun, and it is not real. >> i don't know that, and i don't know if that is a distraction as the subject, the teenager is still approaching me. >> the suspects are considered ard because of the 911 call and are ignoring the commands. at this point, luna is authorized to use deadly force, but he does not pull the trigger. >> i believe until i saw a weapon being pulled from a waistband is when i would have used deadly force. but until then, i needed to see a weapon being displayed. >> but luna doesn't see a weapon. the 911 caller said that the gun was tucked into the suspect's waistband.

as the dash cam video rolls, you can see that the young man's sweatshirt is completely pulled down, covering his waistband and any possible weapon. >> get on the ground now. get down. no, i don't care. get on the ground. >> two of the teens are sitting on the sidewalk, but they don't follow luna's orders. >> keep your hands where i can see them. >> and i have to yell louder to tell them, hey, this is not a game. >> keep your hands up. do not move. keep your hands up. and they are still putting the hands in the pocket, and one with an ipod and they are not listening to me. >> but luna keeps his cool and the finger off of the trigger. there was never no anxiety and i knew that my backup was down the road and i had several units coming, and i trust the guys that i work with to get there very quickly. do not lose, guys, do you understand. >> and a backup unit arrives

less than a minute after luna and officers frisk the three suspects. >> the handgun was located in the teenager waistband who had on the gray sweater, hoodie. >> but as the suspect claims, it is in fact a b.b. gun. >> he says he has a fake gun, but i don't know. >> this b.b. gun looks so real that anybody, a civilian or police officer, if it was pulled out would have believed it is a real handgun, all three subjects are alive because i did not see a weapon displayed at all. >> the teens are released and officer luna finishes his shift. later that night, he replays the incident in his head. >> did not think about it until i got home later how close i came to taking a life that day. if that handgun was pulled out on the police officer, that officer would have a split-second decision to take the life and not have time to think about it if that gun is real or fake.

>> luna's quick thinking under pressure prevented a tragedy, but not every incident has the same outcome. just six weeks earlier in cleveland, ohio, a 12-year-old boy named tamir rice was playing on the street with a b.b. gun, and even pointing it at people as they walked by him. when police arrived on the scene, all they saw was a gun, and in at matter of seconds an officer shot and killed tamir. it was a case that became highly controversial and part of a growing national dialogue about police use of deadly force. >> everybody that i have talked to has compared my call to the call in cleveland. it could have turned out like that if that teenager would have pulled out a handgun when i arrived, because i am not waiting to find out if it is a fake gun. i'm glad the way it turned out. i couldn't be happier. >> the episode with the three

teens lasts just 73 seconds. >> i don't care! keep your hands where i can see them. >> in that time, officer luna the gives 32 verbal commands, many of which were ignored. keep your hands up. >> i think of the amount of commands that i gave to the three teenagers, and is there a number of -- do i give 100? or do i give one and if you don't listen, take that as a threat and then have to use any type of force? >> when we spoke with officer luna, he showed us a picture of the b.b. gun next to the picture of a real beretta, and can you spot the fake? >> to my left is a real 0.009 millimeter baretta handgun. to my right is a b.b. gun. by looking at these guns, there is no -- there is no way of telling which one is real, and which one is fake. on the b.b. gun, there is no orange tip. no orange grip. so if this were to be pulled out

on a police officer, there is no telling which one is real, and which one is fake. >> for luna, the photos and the dash cam video are constant reminders of how close the encounter came to ending in tragedy. >> no, i don't care. get on the ground. >> i am grateful on this day, they did not have to take the life of a teenager. >> get on the ground now! >> as police officers, we swore an oath to protect and serve. we come to work to protect the public, and at the end of the shift, the most important thing is for me to get home to my wife and my teenage daughter. >> coming up. extremely fast, and extremely dangerous. >> he is trying to hit people head on or trying to force people off the road. >> when "caught on camera, dash cam diaries continues." oh no,o the front of the school. that's where your friends are. seriously, it's, it's really fine. you don't want to be seen with your dad? no, it's..no.. this about a boy?

public, and traveling into the medians, and almost like a nascar driver cutting through traffic. >> a dash cam inside of a sheriff's deputy cruiser is also rolling as he tries to keep up with the suspect. >> i can still see the suspect cutting in and out of traffic, and the median and the shoulders. i had the pedal to the floor trying to catch up to him. at one point i was 142 miles per hour just trying to catch up to the suspect. >> corveau pulls in front of the sheriff's deputy, but then the cam are pulls a wild move. >> my heart kind of dropped a little bit, because i was like, man, i don't know if this guy is going to drive head-on into other traffic. so at that point in time, we have to stop this as quick as possible. >> the sheriff's dash cam is rolling as the suspect heads back across the median and narrowly missing corveau's cruiser. a few seconds later the suspect makes another uturn.

>> whatever means necessary, he is going to try to get away. >> but he's not getting very far, the camry slows yet again and heads back into oncoming traffic. corveau is racing ahead almost parallel with the dangerous driver. >> i looked over to the suspect, and he looked at me and looked back as if it was a sunday drive. he had no care in the world. at that point in time, he was kind of playing chicken with me on the opposite side of the road. he slowed down and i would slow down, and he would speed up, and i would speed up, and just to let him know that we are not going anywhere. >> the camry pulls back across the median in front of trooper corveau, and up ahead a deputy is stationed with stop sticks ready to puncture the camry's tires. >> he ran over the stop sticks deflating three or four of the tires. >> but even with the deflated tires, this guy isn't stopping.

>> i tried to do a pit maneuver on the vehicle. >> a position immobilization technique or p.i.t. maneuver is used to shutdown the suspect's vehicle, but corveau can't get a good angle on the camry. >> as soon as i made contact with the vehicle the suspect gunned in and stepped on it. >> ten minutes into the harrowing high-speed chase, the camry heads back into oncoming traffic on this narrow two-lane road there's even less room for other cars to get out of the way. camary heads back into the on coming traffic on the narrow two-lane road where there is less room for other car to get out of the way. >> trying to hit people head-on or trying to force people off of the road. as the pursuant continued down harwood march, the shoulders were bigger, and lot more grass and a lot more play room. so at that point, i felt comfortable with trying to do a p.i.t. maneuver on the suspect. >> and he waits for the moment,

and initiates a perfect pit. >> when i initiated that p.i.t. maneuver on the vehicle, it was with enough force that it a actually disabled the suspect's vehicle. >> the camry rolls to a stop against the jeep and officers surround the car, but the suspect still doesn't surrender. >> we did still didn't know if he had a gun. that point in time, you are hoping that the suspect just gives up, and is not wanting to take it to the next level. >> the suspect refuses to unlock the door. so an officer breaks the window. >> we are yelling and screaming at the suspect, show us your hands, and get out of the vehicle. he still wasn't responding. >> the police decide to deploy a k-9 unit, but the man still won't get out of the car. >> the suspect is actually striking the dog. the suspect actually kind of leans back pulling the officer back into the vehicle, and the deputy is trying to do everything he can to try the get the us suspect out. >> the suspect is dragged from the car. >> he was still trying to fight

as we were pulling him out of the car, and had him down on the ground, and attempting to handcuff him, he was still resisting and fighting. he fought all the way to the end. >> 41-year-old brian richards is charged with numerous crimes including robbery, resisting arrest, and aggravated assault, and he pleads no contest and sentenced to the 15 years in prison. when trooper corveau watches the video, he's amazed despite the suspect's reckless behavior, no one was injured during the pursuit. >> when you think about it, it's almost surreal, that you were involved in something like that. >> coming up -- >> i look up, and there's the mother standing right over me. as she is watching me try to save her son's life. >> is it too late? when "caught on camera, dash cam diaries" continues. allergies. and i'm doing just fine.
