Officer's Bodycam: High-Speed Robbery Chase

It's April 24th, California news today starts now, AI powered and ready.

I'm Cory with the story.

Antioch police just dropped body cam footage from a crazy robbery chase back on February 20th.

It all kicked off at a food max store with an armed suspect who smashed his car into the building.

Cops rolled up quick, confronted the guy, and things went wild when one officer got yanked right into the getaway vehicle as it peeled out.

The video picks up the chaos inside the speeding car with the officer yelling at the suspect to stop or he'd shoot.

The suspect tried talking his way out, saying he'd only go 10 miles an hour and begging the cop to drop the gun.

Tension was sky high in that tight space.

Folks watching this are stunned at how fast it escalated from a store robbery to a life or death ride.

No one got seriously hurt, but it shows the raw risks officers face in split second calls like this.

After multiple warnings, the officer fired one shot into the suspect's leg, just as planned.

The car slammed into a parked vehicle right after, suspect bailed out to run, but cops nabbed him quick.

Video like this keeps the conversation going on police encounters, reminding us how these moments can turn on a dime while everyone's safe in the end.
