Bodycam shows Karl Schuhe, who pointed a gun at St. Louis County deputy being fatally shot
The St. Louis County Police Department released video and dispatcher audio of the deadly police shooting involving a man who pointed guns at responding officers.
The video shows multiple angles of the Sept. 20 shooting of 59-year-old Karl Schuhe, including body camera footage from two officers, dashcam footage and witness video from a nearby house. Schuhe died at the hospital two days later.
The St. Louis County Police Department said the shooting happened in the 9100 block of Rambler Drive in Affton, Missouri. The incident occurred on the front porch of a home at 7:12 p.m.
According to dispatch audio, the woman who called 911 told the dispatcher that Schuhe was intoxicated and armed with a handgun. The dispatcher said a man's voice could be heard in the background saying, "If they come and don't shoot me, they are going to die."
Body camera video shows the officers repeatedly ordering the man to drop his weapons for one minute before taking cover. Schuhe appears to point one gun at each responding officer while they take cover. One officer then yells, "Hey dude, it's on."
Schuhe responds, saying "Are you both ready?" and the other officer says he is ready at about the same time. Seconds later, one of the officers fires a shot, followed closely by Schuhe shooting once.
The officers then continue to fire shots before approaching Schuhe.
The video shows the officers calling for EMS as they approach Schuhe. When they reach him, one officer grabs his guns while the other rolls him onto his back. Schuhe yells, shouts "Ow" when the officer touches him. The other officer yells, "Why would you do that?" as he puts Schuhe in handcuffs.
In the video, Lt. Col. Tim Cunningham of the St. Louis County Police Department said officers fired 17 shots. Police recovered a .38 caliber revolver and a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. Cunningham said the revolver had one unfired cartridge casing and the pistol appeared to be unfired.
Schuhe was rushed to the hospital for treatment after the shooting. He was charged the next day with attempted assault of a special victim in the first degree and armed criminal action. A day after the charges were filed, he died at the hospital.
