Suspect's weapon jams Cops weapons don't
This footage from Seattle, Washington, shows several officers responding to a call which initially concerned a man armed with an axe. However, the suspect fled upon officer contact. Understanding the man to be armed, the officers tried to use less-than-lethal options as they attempted to corner the man. Things take a sharp turn as the suspect produces a handgun and points it at an officer- before experiencing a malfunction. As he struggles with the weapon, several officers open fire, ultimately killing him. Viewer discretion is advised. The suspect, later identified as Jack Paleli, 46 years of age, had a solid five seconds of uninterrupted time to fire before the police began to shoot. Had his weapon not jammed, or had he properly known what to do about it, this video may have had a different outcome. But as it stands, no officers or bystanders were injured. Paleli was pronounced dead on-scene.
