Michigan cops have released footage of a shootout in suburban Grand Rapids that led to the death of an 18-year-old felon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malik Carey had been stopped on May 3 by three police officers after his probation officer said he had absconded; he had previously been convicted of firing on a car with civilians in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carey and an officer chatted until his identity was confirmed – at which point he pulled a gun on the cops, leading to an intense shootout culminating in his death,\u00a0MLive\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage, released by the Kent County prosecutor, shows the cops with Carey on the\u00a01300 block of Dickinson, where one of them had recognized him as a probation absconder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It shows the scene from the viewpoints of several different officers, three of whom would eventually be forced to fire on Carey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carey, who is sat in the back of a white car, is initially approached by officer Benjamin Hawkins, who asks him his name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carey is reluctant to reply, and eventually gave his name as Willie Walton III. The youth opens up a little as Hawkins engages him in a conversation about his dreads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minutes later – in a moment cut from the footage – Hawkins left to inspect a photo of Carey that had been sent to a cruiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is then seen returning to the car and opening a rear door to enter it, then telling the youth to put his hands on his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carey reaches into his pants and pulls out a gun, opening fire on Hawkins and officer Tony Gamez, who is stood behind him. He fired at least four shots, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They scramble around the car and return fire; Officer David Lilly manages to taze Carey but a couple of seconds later he bolts from the car, is struck and falls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carey was hit two times and is seen raising his arms for police at the end of the video. He died in hospital. None of the cops were harmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young man was found to be lying on top of a .38 revolver. The shooting was ruled justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State police said Hawkins fired 11 shots. Gamez fired seven. Lilly did not fire his gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Mr Carey was the person who initiated the violence,’ said Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘He drew his gun, pointed his gun, and fired his gun at least four times before any police officer could even draw their firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘This was a classic case of “a sudden, fierce and violent attack.”‘<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had he survived, Becker said, Carey would likely have been charged with assault with intent to murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
