Rochester Cop shot by armed suspect

This bodycam and security camera footage comes from Rochester, New York, courtesy of their Police Department. On 20 March, 2026, an officer attempted to speak with a person of interest in a shooting that had happened earlier that day. As he approached the man, the suspect drew a handgun and fired three rounds. The official statement says the officer was struck in the "lower body" but we see him doing an excellent job of immediately affixing his own tourniquet to his right leg. Other officers transported him to an area hospital, where he is expected to be released as his injuries were deemed non-life threatening. Meanwhile, the shooter was caught within a perimeter established by other units and located via a thermal camera on a Department drone. However, closer investigation revealed that the shooter was deceased by virtue of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
