The Pueblo Police Department on Wednesday released footage of a fatal officer-involved shooting of a man who attempted to run officers down with his car. The video shows a Feb. 5 shooting that killed Andrew Byrd, 35, who backed his vehicle into a patrol car before driving at other officers in the area of Small and Acero avenues just after midnight, police said. Officer Neal Robinson fired one round into the driver’s side of a Toyota Camry, killing Byrd, police said. Hours earlier, a woman reported that her 2005 Lexus sedan was stolen by Byrd, a known gang member with active warrants for his arrest, police said. He then returned to the neighborhood in a Camry. A shootout followed that resulted in Byrd’s death, police said. The video shows the Camry was stuck underneath a semi-truck before backing out and hitting a patrol car. Robinson and fellow officer Bernadette Lambert were placed on paid administrative leave. In August, the Pueblo County District Attorney’s Office ruled the shooting justified. According to police, Robinson said he felt his life was in danger when he saw Byrd reaching for a possible weapon and driving toward him. In a police report, Bernadette fired a shot at “Mr. Byrd based partially on her belief that he had shot Officer Robinson.”

Justice served
I lost it when the car tried to hide under the truck.
Dude cant drive
boom,night night
Finally a cop that can hit shit right in front of him. If cops would stop spraying their mags down into a car that passes them, and instead take a one or two actually aimed shots, well.. There you go.
Rip uncle drew
He literally shot as the car was already passed him, hope the cop got fired and sentenced for that.
That's called the dead man spin.
That was a dope burnout from the grave. Smokem if ya gottem
You can hear a head shot in the woods.
when he drove under that truck it looked like an otherworldly Force sucked the car under it
One tap
You already Know he was dead cos the gas was stuck.
Shot his ASS Right Between the EYES…
u guys are mean its my couzin he didnt do anythig wrong we did sue the police for 5 million dollars for what they did tho
First cop got the job done, then the second cop fired a clumsy and pointless shot that only put the passengers at risk. 6/10
Was that suspect trying to crash the truck on purpose?
Sorry girls, but I hate when women have to throw themselves in just to get recognition, or maybe just the paid leave…
I was 10 wen I witnessed this
Dumb fuck should've stopped. I love my home town of Pueblo but people like that just fuck us over
Such a great shining city lol. I wonder why it has such a high crime rate?
Finally, perfect shot, one to the head
I live in Colorado Springs, north of Pueblo. Guy never get to escape successfully.
Damn this is close to where I live, i know this street and I've driven it a bunch of times. I had no clue this happened
Good job by the officer
SHOT ONE KILLED
Not a good shooting for police on this one. Sorry
Fuckin fortnite real life i swear
Officer_5294 [Glock .40] has killed ⌠BaAdDrIvEr68 – 5 Players Remaining.
nice aimbot mate
Perfect.
Hey that's where I live lmao
and the taxpayers cost was the price of that single bullet
Is that really justifiable though? I always see them shoot at people trying to get away and they say “ they were gonna run them over†but clearly here he wasn’t , that kinda looked like murder to me. He posed no type of threat to the officer
Video cut off too soon I wanted to see the GORE!!!
Headshot!
that second shot was clearly not justified. usually im like, shoot em in the head, but it was clear there were no officers in immediate danger when that officer fired a second time. JUSTIFIED? the first one, sure, not the second one though. that was clearly murder. justifiable murder, fight or flight, its all the same thing, right? rhyme intended. one of the things that should be considered is a persons natural instinct to run from danger. i dont see how the officers are my friend in that situation, so id want to get away from that situation. in that moment, i forget anything rational and all im worried about is getting away from danger.
i think the biggest problem we have is a first person view from only cops. lets hear how someone running from the cops feels for once. keep in mind that some "infractions" are minor and still end deadly.
He was a better driver when he was dead than when he was alive.
