Ohio Cop drops armed suspect
This compilation of bodycam footage from Columbus, Ohio, shows a an armed suspect fleeing police. Despite being warned to drop the weapon, he turns toward the officers with the weapon still in-hand, at which point he gets shot and drops. Thanks to prompt medical aid, the suspect survives in stable condition to await charges. However, due to the graphic nature of the incident, viewer discretion remains advised. The suspect, later identified as one Deontis Williams-Spencer, failed to stop during a traffic interdiction and instead fled on foot, pistol in-hand. When ordered to stop running and drop the weapon, Williams-Spencer instead opted to turn toward the officers. This is, and I cannot stress this enough, never the right decision. Williams-Spencer got shot and fell to the ground. Police and Fire personnel collaborated to provide aid and transport the suspect to an area hospital. Once stabilized, he was charged with obstruction of official business and aggravated menacing. His girlfriend, the passenger, was not charged with any crime.
