Dashcam Shows Driver Shoot At Officer

Battle Creek, MI - Dash cam video shows a driver open fire on a Battle Creek police officer during a traffic stop on Saturday. Monday, 21-year-old Darriyone Zamone Clark-Brown was arraigned on several charges including attempted murder in the incident. Dash cam video of the shooting, which was released Monday by the Battle Creek Police Department, is time-stamped around 3:12 p.m. Saturday and shows the officer pull over a car in the area of Hubbard Street and W. Goodale Avenue. The video shows the officer approach the driver's side window and say, "What's up, man." At that point, without responding verbally, the driver pulls a handgun and fires what sounds like a single shot. The shooter then takes off in his car. The officer was not actually shot. He returned fire at the fleeing car, getting off what sounds like 10 shots as he reported "shots fired, shots fired," into his radio. The officer then pursues the suspect, describing his car and telling dispatchers, "He shot me. I'm not hit." The suspect led officers on an about four-minute car chase through a residential neighborhood that reached speeds of up to 70 mph, according to the officer. "I can hardly hear," the officer can be heard telling dispatchers in the video. The suspect ignored stop signs and dodged around passing vehicles, coming close to a few, as he fled. At one point, his car spun around, facing the way he had come, before the suspect regained control and kept driving. "If anybody can take that car out, do it," someone orders over the radio. The officer can be heard narrating the route of the chase, breathing heavily but overall sounding composed and focused. Eventually, he asks others who have joined the pursuit to take the lead. "I can still barely hear my radio," he explains. "Go ahead and bow out. Let us pass you," another officer responds over the radio. Other cruisers then took the lead. Only moments later, the car chase came to an end when the suspect ditched his vehicle. The suspect then holed up in a home on W. Coolidge Street just west of North Avenue, around a mile from where the traffic stop happened. The standoff ended around 7 p.m. when a police K-9 bit the suspect, who was taken to the hospital to be checked out.
