The interaction is all captured on body camera video.

Ibrahim raised the gun to his chin and fired one round, police said. He sustained injuries from the self-inflicted gunshot wound and was taken to the hospital, where he is in critical condition.

Officers were not injured during this incident.

Ibrahim is being charged with carrying a concealed firearm, resisting arrest without violence and improper exhibition of a firearm.
