Cranston Police released bodycam shows interaction that led to officer shooting at a moving vehicle
The Cranston Police Department released bodycam footage on Friday that shows the interaction that led to one of its officers shooting at a moving vehicle on Sunday.
Police claim Officer Kayleigh Cooper approached the vehicle on Reservoir Avenue after a shoplifting report from Garden City Center on Sunday.
The video shows the officer coming up to the car and ordering the driver to “shut the car off.”
When he doesn’t, she is seen opening the door.
Inside is a man in the driver’s seat and a woman on the passenger side.
The man asked the officer “What are you doing? What is this about?”
Officer Cooper repeated her order for him to get out of the car.
The driver continued to question the officer in the video.
“What are you doing?” he asked her while she continued her order from him to exit the car.
At one point in the video, the woman in the passenger seat is heard telling the man to “drive.”
“Drive. Drive. Drive,” said the woman.
The man then shifts the car in to drive, and it starts to move forward.
Officer Cooper then is heard saying “You are going to run me over” as the car moves past her.
As the driver pulls away she takes a shot at the vehicle.
It is unclear in the video when the officer was struck, but the department had previously said that the vehicle ran over the officer’s foot.
She was treated at Kent Hospital.
The rest of the video is a short pursuit as Cooper loses the vehicle, and pulls off the highway.
The suspects were caught in Massachusetts on Tuesday.
They were identified as Michael Campagna and Megan O’Brien.
Both are facing felony assault and/or battery, assault on a police officer, reckless driving/eluding officer, obstruction of an officer in the execution of duty, resisting arrest, and conspiracy.
