Newly released body camera footage shows Washington police chase a carjacking suspect inside a crowded bingo hall and shoot him dead after he pointed a gun at the officers.
Clark County Sheriff's Office deputies tracked down two carjacking suspects - one male and one female - to an American Legion parking lot around 11 a.m. on April 13.
The male suspect, later identified as 41-year-old Benjamin Steven Woods, refused to comply with the deputies and ran into the packed bingo hall while being chased by the police dog, reported KOIN.
Inside the hall, video showed Deputy Michael Gonzalez warn the suspect he is going to get shot, then Woods pulled out his weapon and said 'you're gonna get shot' to the deputy.
Gonzalez and Deputy Jim Payne fired multiple rounds at Woods as he fell to his knees in the doorway of the bathroom in front of horrified patrons.
