Tulsa, Oklahoma - Tulsa police have released hours-worth of dashcam videos from a deadly officer-involved shooting last month. On July 18, Jerry Brimer was shot and killed near West 43rd Street and South 25th West Avenue when officers responded to a report of a domestic situation. Brimer's wife called 911, telling dispatchers her husband was armed and threatening her. Upon arrival, police say they found a woman sitting in a car at the end of a culdesac and a man outside with an ax. After officers repeatedly tell Brimer to drop his weapons, four gunshots are heard on one of the videos, but the shooting occurs off camera. In another video, an officer inside a patrol car says the suspect lunged at officers with the ax and both officers fired. Officers Richard Urban, 29, and Jerod Lum, 31, were placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. In that same video, the unidentified officer says both Urban and Lum were shaken up after the shooting but otherwise OK. Police say Brimer made threats to his wife's life prior to the shooting. In another dashcam video, Brimer's wife tells police her husband was drunk, swinging an ax and a hammer, telling officers to shoot him. "It wasn't the officers' fault," she said. "This was his dumb mistake. They were just trying to protect me and themselves."
