The Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office showed members of the press Friday morning body camera footage of the officer-involved shooting that took place the evening of March 25 in the 7000 block of Ark Road Friday.
Deputies were called to the home for help involving an armed subject after information had been received that the suspect was attempting to break into a residence.
In the video, both deputies gave the suspect verbal commands to show them his hands. The suspect shot at both deputies, and the deputies returned fire. Before falling to the ground, the suspect administered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. Neither deputy was injured.
The suspect was flown to Norfolk Sentara Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Warren said that he greatly appreciates the work of Gloucester Volunteer Fire and Rescue with this incident. The body cam footage will not be released to the public.
