Oklahoma police have released body camera footage showing the moment a suspect driving a stolen car was shot dead after a high-speed police chase.
Video of the final seconds of George Lee Seeton's life were released by Oklahoma City Police on Tuesday.
Oklahoma City officer Jarrod Jackson and highway patrol trooper Mike Moler were in pursuit of Seeton, 38, for fleeing after he was stopped for a broken taillight on March 4.
Seeton allegedly disregarded the officers' commands to stop and reversed the car in the direction of the officials, causing them to shoot.
The video shows several shots being fired, then Seeton falling from the truck when officers opened the door, with his foot caught between the door and the truck.
The car Seeton was driving turned out to be stolen.
Highway Patrol Lt. Kera Philippi said the pursuit began about 6:45am when Moler tried to stop the truck on Interstate 240 for a broken tail light.
Seeton initially stopped, then fled as Moler walked toward the pickup, leading the trooper on a vehicle chase that exceeded 100 mph on the interstate and more than 80 mph on city streets after exiting the interstate in Oklahoma City.
In the dangerous 20 minute pursuit, police chased the suspect as he drove through yards, disregarded stop signs and hit objects before crashing in a residential front yard, according to police.
Philippi said: 'Literally... watching that video, it is intense. He's blowing stoplights, stop signs, barely missing citizens, you know, that are travelling through those intersections.
'Total disregard for anybody else that was out there.'
Once Seeton crashed into a front yard, both of the officers exited their vehicles and drew their weapons, Seeton reportedly ignored their commands, leading the officers to open fire when the car started to move towards them.
Oklahoma City Police Capt. Paco Balderrama said: 'The suspect puts his vehicle in reverse, backs up in the direction of the officer and the trooper, and that's when they discharged their weapons.'
Seeton was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities haven't said whether Jackson or Moler fired the shot that killed the suspect.
Seeton had a long criminal history, including serving prison time for domestic assault and battery, kidnapping and drug charges, reported News OK.
Balderrama said an investigative report that will be given to the district attorney's office to determine whether the shooting was justified is 'basically' completed.
'Obviously, it's a very unfortunate situation anytime somebody loses their life,' Balderrama said. 'At the same time we're very lucky that we did not get a trooper or a police officer hurt or killed.'
