Police have released shocking bodycam video showing a shooting suspect pulling out a gun and firing at officers, leaving two cops, and their attacker, wounded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chicago Police Department (CPD) on Thursday released a nearly three-and-a-half minute video montage of the May 16 shooting, including the moments when the suspect \u2013 who had been ignoring officers\u2019 demands to \u201cdrop the gun\u201d and stop for them \u2013 fired point-blank at one of the officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police were responding to a report of shots fired shortly before 7:20 a.m. on Chicago\u2019s West Side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new video is a compilation of several clips provided Wednesday by the city\u2019s Civilian Office of Police Accountability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CPD video begins by showing the suspect walking along the sidewalk wearing a white sweatshirt that covers his head at parts of the clip. It then shows another person, identified by police as the victim, across the street from the suspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect walks out of the camera\u2019s view and, seconds later, the sound of at least one shot being fired can be heard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video then cuts off to police trying to stop the suspect. Despite officers\u2019 multiple attempts to get him to stop or to get his attention, he keeps walking. Police can be heard repeatedly telling him, \u201cDrop it!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officers keep following the suspect as he walks alongside a building and into an alleyway, where a police vehicle intercepts him, the footage shows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second officer exits the police car with his gun pointed and yells, \u201cGet your hands out of your pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDude, stop,\u201d the officer continues as the suspect moves closer to him. \u201cGet your hands up. Come on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But instead, the suspect brandishes his gun and points it directly at the officer before shots are heard being fired repeatedly. The officer\u2019s bloodied hand can be seen in the camera\u2019s view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another camera shows the shooting from a different view, and further shows how a second officer collapses to the ground after he, too, is wounded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police fired back and struck the suspect, whom the Chicago Sun-Times identified as Bruce Lua, 45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three of the wounded individuals survived their injuries. One officer was shot in the shoulder above his protective vest and in the hip, while the other suffered a gunshot wound to his hand. Both were released from the hospital later that day. 

This offender had no regard for their position as police officers. No regard. And began trying to kill them,\u201d Police Superintendent David Brown said during a press conference at the time. \u201cLet\u2019s be clear. This offender turned and immediately tried to kill these officers, by firing a gun and hitting both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, he\u00a0c<\/a>aptioned\u00a0the CPD video compilation of the shooting with the words, \u201cBravery and courage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lua was charged with attempted murder, unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated battery after the shooting and bail was set at $10 million, the Sun-Times report. He had reportedly previously been convicted and had been awaiting trial for previous misdemeanor assault charges at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
