The Phoenix Police Department released a graphic video showing an officer shoot an armed robbery suspect earlier this month.

The incident began overnight on Friday, May 7, just before midnight when, an erratic driving vehicle caught the attention of a police sergeant near 35th Avenue and Cactus Road. As the sergeant approached the car, they heard what was believed to be a gunshot. " I believe I was just shot at," the sergeant said to dispatch over the radio. "35th Avenue and Lupine. I got a Honda car going northbound."

As police pursued the suspect, dispatch told officers that the suspect's car was also used in an armed robbery in Glendale around 59th Avenue and Cactus Road earlier in the night. Investigators believed the suspect had used a long gun in the robbery. The pursuit ended near 55th Avenue and Happy Valley Road after officers used a grappler device to stop the suspect's car.

Video from the police body cameras shows the car blocked in by officers as they talk to the suspect. The video then shows the suspect in his car, then focuses on the officer who shot the suspect multiple times.

Officers started first aid on the suspect until Phoenix Fire personnel arrived, and transported the suspect to a nearby hospital, where he still remains. The suspect was later identified as 34-year-old Dustin E. Weaver. Police say the shotgun used by Weaver in the robbery was found inside the stolen car.

Police said no officers were injured during the incident. An internal investigation and criminal investigation are currently underway. Once completed, the case will be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.
