The Blount County Sheriff’s office in Tennessee released body and dash camera video showing what led up to the shooting of two deputies during a traffic stop last week. The video shows the traffic stop escalating into a shooting, with one deputy killed and another wounded. The suspect was arrested several days later and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and being a felon in possession of a weapon. The video footage shows the deputies attempting to get the suspect out of the vehicle, deploying a taser, and ultimately being shot at. The injured deputy is seen flagging down help from passing motorists.
