The San Antonio Police Department released body camera footage of an officer fatally shooting a man who they say drew a gun and fired on police while being detained last month.

Edward Nandin, 50 was sitting in a van in a west-side motel parking lot on Jan. 24 when officers approached him and asked him to step out because they saw knives, which are visible in the video. The footage – released by SAPD Tuesday evening – shows Nandin emptying his jacket pockets and handing one officer a pouch, which police say the officer believed had narcotics residue.

Video shows the officer telling Nandin he's being arrested. A struggle ensues, followed quickly by audible gunshots. Police said Nandin resisted and pulled a gun from a holster, firing two rounds. The second officer came around the van and fired two shots at Nandin, hitting him.

An SAPD spokeswoman narrating the blurry footage says Nandin has a weapon, but it isn't clearly visible.
