Gilbert, AZ - The Gilbert Police Department released on Thursday body-camera videos of officers shooting and killing a man who pointed a rifle at them nearly a month ago.

The first video shows officers arriving and boxing in a silver sedan on Guadalupe Road, facing east, which was blocking traffic just before the light at Lindsay Road on June 11, around 6 p.m.

Police were called out because a woman noticed the driver, later identified as 24-year-old Jacob Alan Rose, slumped over the steering wheel and not moving.

Two officers tried waking up Rose by banging on the window and opening the locked door. Rose eventually woke up and acknowledged the officers by making eye contact with them. “Open the door,” said one officer. Rose waves before the officer asks him to open the door again.

The video then shows Rose leaning forward, grabbing a rifle and pointing it at the officers. “Oh, gun!” one officer exclaimed as they ran for cover. “Gun, gun, gun!”

Officers start shooting at the car while Rose rams the unmarked police SUV in front of him. Screeching tires can be heard as Rose tries to push the SUV out of the way with his car while officers continue to shoot.

A second-body camera video from an officer standing on the sidewalk shows him shooting his gun, hitting the car just above the right rear tire. “Hold traffic, hold traffic!” he says after reloading.

Rose backs up and hits the marked police SUV behind him. “He’s still trying to get away!” one officer says. That’s when the officers start shooting again.

Rose was shot and killed. No officers were hurt.

Police said they found the rifle in the car and a handgun in Rose’s waistband. Two handguns, including a stolen one, were found in a backpack inside the car. The backpack also had two loaded handgun magazines, one loaded rifle magazine, a scale, baggies, $1,760 in cash and alcohol.

Officers also seized a black bag that had two plastic bags with 54 grams of cocaine, one plastic bag with 19.8 grams of ecstasy and four bottles containing 90 pills of Alprazolam, an antianxiety medication. A bullet-resistant vest was also found in the car.
