Police body camera footage of the fatal shooting of James Williams.
WARNING
THIS FOOTAGE MAY BE DISTURBING TO VIEWERS
The body worn camera footage was released by the Canton Police department today.
As you can see, the officer was walking around, his headlights off when the volley of shots began. As the shots began, the officer came around the house and opened fire. After he opened fire, and we now know, fatality strikingly James Williams, he announces his presence.
The officer states he was in fear of his life, but the footage shows that the shots were not being fired at him, and he moved himself into a position where he would have been in danger, had the shot been fired in his direction, in order to fire his service weapon, blindly through the fence.
The BCI investigation continues. The family is holding a candlelight vigil at 6PM outside of their home on 10th Street SW in Canton. They are asking the community to come out and show support tonight at the corner of 10th and Smith SW.
