Wichita police are releasing surveillance video graphically depicting a firsthand account of police shooting that killed DeJuan Colbert last October.
"It's hard to watch, tough to look at, but it is a very descriptive video and shows the anatomy of an armed robbery happening," said Deputy Chief Tom Stolz. On Friday, a report was released by
Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston saying police did not unlawfully use force on Colbert.
In the video, you can see the Dollar General manager and a female employee closing up the store when he goes to lock one of the doors. A short time later, three suspects entered the store.
Colbert is seen demanding money from the manager.
The other two suspects forced the female employee to the ground in the back of the store. It took dispatchers a few minutes to decipher what exactly was going on from the open-line 911 call made by the manager, but once they did, police responded in less than 60 seconds.
When police entered, you can see Colbert charging at them with a knife, and that's when they opened fire shooting 35 shots total.

ReplyDeleteUm...no. Not really. I watched it several times. :D
What struck me is how amazing it is that the first cop didn't catch a few rounds from his buddies who were mag-dumping outside the store and blasting all the glass out of that store front.
Good shoot all in all, I would say.

ReplyDeleteExactly what I thought.
I agree, how he first cop didn't catch any lead is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat was close , he almost stuck him before he fired. Make's you wonder , don't they teach these cop's any kind of fire discipline or unit formation ?.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it was a pleasure watching that goblin get killed. one less violent criminal to mess up our world.
ReplyDeleteDidn't bat an eye.
