Shocking footage showed the moment a disabled man was shot by the North Carolina SWAT team despite obeying their orders.
Jason Harley Kloepfer, 41, was shot several times by Cherokee County police after authorities received a call about gunfire in the area on December 12 around 11pm.
Police suspected Kloepfer was the alleged shooter and was holding a hostage.
Kloepfer can be seen in surveillance footage from inside the trailer opening the door with his wife Alison Mahler shortly behind him as both of their hands were raised.
Seconds later, officers fired several rounds at Kloepfer as he collapsed to the floor. He was transported to the hospital in critical but stable condition.

Police said Kloepfer had engaged in a verbal altercation with police prior to opening the door and insisted he 'confronted' them upon being shot.
Mahler was seen in the video pulling Kloepfer out of the gunfire pathway as he began to repeatedly scream, 'I've been shot!'
'What the hell,' Mahler screamed at the officers while helping Kloepfer. 'He's shot - what the hell did you do!'
