Police released bodycam footage last week showing the exact moment officers barged their way into the back door of a 7-11 in Denver and gunned down a suspect who was holding a store clerk hostage with a nail-pulling tool.
The shooting occurred after 43-year-old Christopher Cauch barricaded himself and two others in the back of the convenience store on the evening of March 1, according to the New York Post.
Chief Ron Thomas told the Denver Post that four brave officers responded to reports of a stabbing and robbery at the convenience store. He said the store clerks were “under duress” in a back room.
The four cops were directed by staffers to the backroom.
