Officers conducting a routine pat-down of a man in a hospital emergency room in suburban Columbus, Ohio found a gun in his waistband, spurring a struggle over the weapon and a standoff that ended in officers killing him, according to police body camera footage released Wednesday.
Officers had been searching Miles Jackson, a Black man, at the hospital Monday in preparation for a custody exchange over warrants he had out for his arrest. Jackson began to struggle with the two officers after one of them felt the gun, video showed.
One of the officers used a stun gun on Jackson after they fell to the floor, while the other attempted to pull Jackson's hands away from his waistband. A shot can then be heard in the video, apparently from the gun in Jackson's waistband.
The officer who stunned Jackson took cover outside of the room. The other officer appeared to return fire at Jackson once before taking cover behind a hospital bed, video showed.
Officers shouted for minutes at Jackson, 27, to raise his hands and put them on his head. An officer eventually used a stun gun for a second time on Jackson, who was on his side on the hospital room floor. Another shot can be heard in the video before officers opened fire.
