Smoke Guy vs Cops

This wild footage coming from Denver, Colorado, shows officers attempting to resolve a rapidly unfolding hostage situation in an area gas station. The suspect and hostage taker didn't have enough money for a pack of cigarettes, and the situation deteriorated to him pulling out a handgun and taking the staff hostage. When a gunshot rings out inside the gas station, the responding officers are left with no choice but to dynamically attempt to stop the shooter. Viewer discretion is advised. The suspect, later identified as Hosea Moore, 35 years of age, attempted to buy a single cigarette upon realizing he did not have enough money for a whole pack. When the clerks informed him that they didn't sell singles, he pulled out a handgun and told them to lock the doors. Moore went so far as to put his ID on the counter, as if he intended for this to go down a specific way. He also drank several bottles of Fireball and smoked the cigarette he wanted so evidently desperately. As the officers arrived to respond to this situation, they heard a gunshot inside the store. Breaching through the glass, they encountered Hosea as they moved to protect the clerks. A gunfight ensued, with both the suspect and the officers firing multiple rounds- between both parties, an approximate 70 rounds were fired. After the chaos subsided, Moore was in critical condition. He was later pronounced deceased at an area hospital. Both the gas station clerks suffered minor injuries- ironically, these were determined to have been caused by spalling and fragments of the officers' rounds. These minor wounds were quickly treated and both were released from care the same night. One of the responding officers was shot in the leg. Released the following day, he is expected to recover.
