The Seattle Police Department (SPD) released body cam footage late Thursday night of an officer-involved shooting that occurred Thursday morning near Northgate. The gruesome footage shows two SPD cops confronting a man armed with a knife inside an apartment before opening fire and fatally shooting him. Thoughout the whole scene a woman's dead body appears to be laying between the officers and the now-deceased man.
The incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning at an apartment building near the intersection of Highway 99 and Northgate Avenue, according to a post on SPD's blog. Body cam footage shows at least two officers kicking down an apartment door and confronting a man who appears to be walking back and forth inside the room. The officers order the man to get on the ground and, after first hesitating, the man lays face-first down on the floor, but fails to fully comply with commands and continues to erratically move.
