During the foot chase, one officer shot, who he identified as an armed suspect with a semiautomatic handgun. The officer was wearing a body camera that was on and recording though its unclear whether the suspect aimed or attempted to fire his weapon at the police. Many hours after the shooting, large crowds took to the streets smashing windows and torching several businesses.
