DETROIT (WXYZ) - Intense security video that shows the shootings inside a police precinct has been released to the public.
WARNING THE VIDEO IS INTENSE AND MAY BE VERY DISTURBING
Chief Ralph Godbee says he released the video to show the heroism of the Detroit Police officers who were inside Detroit's Northwest District on the day Lamar Moore walked in and opened fire.
He also wanted to show the transparency of the department in letting the public see exactly what happened.
The dramatic video shows that frightening Sunday afternoon on January 23 when four officers were wounded inside the police station. It all happened shortly after police went to Moore's home to investigate a 13-year-old girl's claim that Moore kidnapped and sexually assaulted her.
Chief Godbee acknowledged that the officers in the video did exactly what they were trained to do and says the video shows the bravery of the department's men and women.
In the video, you can see the shooter point his shotgun at Commander Brian Davis at point-blank range and shoot. Commander Davis was the most seriously injured during the shootout. He was shot in the low back and lost some of his fingers.
All four officers survived the shootout. They have all been released from the hospital. The shooter, 38-year-old Lamar Moore, was shot and killed during the incident.
"We are very thankful to God that at the end of this all four members who were injured are going to be OK," Chief Godbee said.
