Video related to the fatal shooting of a car theft suspect shows Chicago police officers firing on a moving vehicle that then strikes a squad car before an occupant runs out.
The video made public Friday shows officers pursuing the man, 18-year-old Paul O'Neal, through a yard and over a fence while shots are heard ringing out. Officers then cuff the suspect, who is face down on the ground with blood on the back of his white shirt.
The recording catches the car being pursued by officers as it blows through a stop sign and smashes head-on into another police cruiser.
More than a half-dozen officers are seen racing between houses into backyards in pursuit of a person who fled from the car.
One officer needs help scaling a wooden gate, while the officer wearing the body camera is unable to climb over and walks around to the rear of another home where other officers have the suspect on the ground.
One officer can be heard saying "I shot. I don't know who was shooting in the alley."
