In recent news, Isaiah Brown, 32, was shot multiple times as he was on a 911 call with a dispatcher.
The conversation has been recorded and released to the public, including footage of the disaster.
Before police had arrived, he confessed to a 911 dispatcher that he was going to kill his brother.
Around 3 am, Brown was seen walking down the street while being on the phone.
An hour before the scene, the cop that shot Brown had given him a ride home because Brown’s car had broken down at a nearby gas station.
In the video, the officer shouts at Brown “Show me your hands!” and “Drop the gun!” before he shoots Brown.
Fortunately, Brown survived the shooting but now remains in critical condition in a hospital in Frdericksburg. The officer’s identity remains undisclosed due to privacy matters.
The situation began around 2:30 am, where Brown initially took the ride from the deputy officer since is car broke down. The cop left once he made it back home safely.
Brown then had an argument with his brother, calling 911 right after. He says, “Can you send somebody down here? I’m about to kill my brother.” The 911 dispatcher responds with “Don’t kill your brother. Do you understand that you just threatened to kill your brother on a recorded line on 911?”
They then ask him, “Do you have a gun?” In which he responds, “Yup.” But when asked he has a gun on him or any other weapons, he says “Nope,” and the situation arises once the deputy cop comes to the scene.
The cop starts to open fire while shouting for Brown to put his hands in the air, and to stop walking towards him. The cop shoots Brown in the abdomen, in the left eye, and on the side.
Once after, the cop says he was “performing life saving measures,” and then goes towards Brown saying, “I got you, man. I’ll pray for you man. Hey, man, stay with me. Don’t leave me.”
The officer is now placed on administrative leave as officials start to investigate, being lead by the Virginia State Police.
Brown’s attorney says that the bodycam footage that was released says the shooting was “completely unavoidable. The officer mistook a cordless house phone for a gun.”
