The Tallahassee Police Department released edited and narrated body-cam video footage of a violent encounter with a trespassing suspect that left an officer shot and injured by his own gun.
TPD posted a nearly eight-minute video that it said captured the events that led to a fight between the officer, whose name was not released, and the suspect, Willis Adams.
The officer was shot in the hand as he and Adams fought for control of his gun. He was taken to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and later released.
"Dispatch, he's got my gun. He's got my gun. I'm shot. I'm shot," the officer says in the closing seconds of the video.
Adams was apprehended shortly after the shooting and arrested on a charge of attempted homicide.
