The suspect did not immediately stop, driving six blocks before coming to a stop on Spooner at the 400 block of Southmore Avenue. On the video, the officer shouts,<br>&#8220;stay in the vehicle&#8221; and &#8220;show me your hands.&#8221; The situation quickly escalated, according to Assistant Police Chief Josh Bruegger. &#8220;He gets out of the vehicle, turns partially so he&#8217;s facing back towards the officer. At one point his hand reaches down, his right hand behind his back, and then he produces a weapon, brings it up, both hands in a shooting stance parallel to the ground, pointing it at the officer,&#8221; Bruegger said. &#8220;The officer immediately starts firing, and strikes the suspect.&#8221;<br>Police said the officer fired at least six times, but they do not know if the suspect actually fired at the officer. A 63-year-old man who saw the shooting from his front yard.<br>He says the suspect did shoot at the officer and the officer had to protect himself. &#8220;It&#8217;s unfortunate the officer is placed in the position but when a suspect points a weapon at the officer, the officer really has no choice but to defend himself,&#8221; said Bruegger. The officer, 40 years old and a 13-year veteran of Pasadena PD, was not hurt.<br>He has been placed on administrative leave, which is standard after officer-involved shootings. A Harris County grand jury will determine whether he did anything criminal. The suspect has not been identified. Police said his gun was found next to his body at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"464\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 432 \/ 464;\" width=\"432\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IMG_7645.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>educational and informational purposes only) **Police have released dash and body cam video from a shooting, during which an officer fatally shot a suspect who witnesses say opened fire on &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2438"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2441,"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2438\/revisions\/2441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.landingliker.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
