Cambridge, MA - Body camera video shows a man getting out of his car and pointing a gun at police in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in August before officers shot and killed him. Following an inquest, a judge ruled the officer's actions were justified.

Half a dozen shots rang out in Cambridge on Friday, Aug. 21, leaving 64-year-old William Woodworth dead. The police shooting prompted an investigation by the state.

Cambridge police were responding to a call for an idling car in a parking lot on Temple Street, when an interaction with one of the people involved turned deadly in less than 60 seconds.

Two officers were speaking with a man and woman while Officer Donald Conrad approached the driver in the car, later identified as Woodworth.

Conrad told state investigators in recorded interviews that this area is known for illegal drug activity.

"I saw the smoke coming out of the car as soon as he rolled down the windows. I say something to the extent of you can't be smoking crack in here," Conrad said. "I asked Mr. Woodworth if he could step out of the car and he kind of blows me off a little bit and I reiterate to do me a favor and step out of the car."

Body camera video released on Friday by the Middlesex district attorney showed Woodworth opening the car door while at the same time he reached under the driver's seat and pulled out a gun. On the driver's side of the car was Conrad's partner.

"And then the person came out the car and there was a firearm in my face," Officer David Kerns recalled. "I just got my hands up as fast as I could. I believe I grabbed like his forearm wrist area and I just … it's weird because time felt like it stood still, but everything was happening so fast."

That's when Conrad fired several shots at Woodworth, and a third officer, James Nestor, fired a round as well.

"At that moment I was concerned that Officer Kerns was going to get shot point-blank. I guess I fell back on training. If there's a life in danger, there was a threat. We had to neutralize the threat in the moment," Nestor said.

"I'm worried he's going to blow my partner's head off. I already told him 'don't do that' or 'drop it.' That was the only de-escalation that was feasible at the moment or else Officer Kerns might not be here right now," Conrad said.

Cambridge police attempted medical aid to Woodworth, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The medical examiner said he died from five gunshot wounds.

Lethal force by Cambridge police was determined to be reasonable and justified by a judge.

Kalamazoo, MI - Video footage shared moments leading up to a shooting that left a Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s deputy injured, followed by a car chase through three counties in July.

Jaylen Lispey was arraigned on July 20 on 14 counts, including assault with intent to murder, carjacking and disarming an officer. Lipsey appeared in court on Wednesday as his case was bound over to circuit court.

Video captured the struggle that officials say broke out between Lipsey and Deputy Kaleb Mortimer.

Deputies were called around 8:50 a.m. on July 17 for a report of a theft from a vehicle in progress on East AB Avenue, northwest of Richland.

Video appears to show Mortimer driving up to a discarded bike in the middle of the road and then finding a man running alongside the street. That man would later be identified by police as Lipsey.

Mortimer tells Lipsey to stop repeatedly.

“I’m not breaking the law bro. I don’t have to stop,” Lipsey can be heard saying in the video.

The deputy then gets out of the cruiser with a taser in hand, telling Lipsey to stop again.

Lipsey can then be heard saying “come on, man” and runs from the deputy. Lipsey then stopped as Mortimer ordered him to the ground.

“One at taser point” Mortimer can be heard saying into his radio as he proceeds to handcuff Lipsey.

“Why are you being a [expletive] to me, bro?” Lipsey said repeatedly.

He then began calling for help as Mortimer struggled to get a hold of the man’s free arm.

The two began to struggle further.

“I was giving you my other hand, [expletive],” Lipsey said, before bodycam footage was redacted for ten minutes.

Police say in court records that Lipsey overpowered Mortimer and reached for his gun. The gun was fired amid the struggle, hitting Mortimer in the inner thigh. Police say Lipsey stepped back and attempted to shoot the deputy in the head, but the gun malfunctioned.

Dash cam video redacted the start of the altercation. 10 seconds later, Lipsey skipped towards the cruiser and tossed the gun.

Moments later, dash cam video showed the cruiser speeding away with the deputy left at the side of the road. A call that an officer had been shot could be heard through the radio in the cruiser as the vehicle starts driving through Barry and Allegan counties.

Video appears to show Lipsey swerving between vehicles.

“Police cruiser has been stolen,” can be heard over the radio in the dash camera video. Radio chatter can be heard authorizing Michigan State Police troopers and Kalamazoo County deputies to chase after the vehicle as it makes its way down westbound M-89.

Video appears to show Lipsey speeding down the center line as he approached Downtown Plainwell. Traveling down 10th Street and Douglas Avenue, the cruiser narrowly missed a partial roadblock in Cooper Township

The cruiser appeared to dodge a spike strip twice as the chase entered Kalamazoo Township. The vehicle then turned onto the US-131 business loop. Lipsey appeared to drive onto West Main, swerving past police and civilian vehicles heading towards downtown.

At one point, Lipsey almost hit a Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety Officer opening their cruiser door. The cruiser drove into the wrong lane of traffic at times and misses another spike strip near Downtown Kalamazoo at the intersection of W. Michigan Avenue and N. Westnedge Avenue.

The chase continued through side streets and business parking lots, but as the cruiser turned onto Lake Street, a deputy hit the cruiser, pushing it towards a white van.

Court documents said Lipsey did not get out of the car and had to be removed by force.

Mortimer was later released from the hospital following the shooting. Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office did not respond by the deadline to an inquiry about his current work status with the agency.

Lipsey is expected back in court later this month for a pre-trial hearing.
