Baltimore Police Release Body-Cam Video That Misses Fatal SWAT Shot

The release highlights a gap in accountability due to the lack of a camera on the SWAT sniper.

Overview

  • Baltimore police released body-camera clips from a Park Heights hostage call that became a shooting.
  • The footage shows officers helping a woman who jumped from a window and applying a tourniquet before rushing a wounded officer to Shock Trauma.
  • Police say the suspect fired from the home and hit an officer in the leg before a SWAT sniper fatally shot him.
  • The fatal shot is not on video because the sniper wore no camera, leaving a key gap in what the public can see.
  • State investigators identified the suspect as Jonathan Ingram and opened a review, and CBS named the SWAT officer as Brian Loiero.
