Baltimore County, Maryland — Baltimore County police released police body worn camera footage of the I-83 police officer-involved shooting from November 26, 2019. Baltimore County Police were called to the unit block of Pheasant Wood Court in Parkton where an individual, who had reportedly been drinking, threatening to assault a family member and himself, left the location in a vehicle. Unfortunately, in this incident, after police conducted a car stop, circumstances occurred where the man, identified as Eric John Sopp (48) of the unit block of Pheasant Wood Court, was fatally shot. Police spokeswoman Sgt. Vickie Wareheim said that after Sopp was shot, police did not recover a weapon from his body.
Shortly before 9 p.m. a 9-1-1 call was received from a family member of the Mr. Sopp indicating that he was intoxicated, threatened to hurt her and was holding a weapon, indicating he would hurt himself, as well. He left the residence in a car prior to officers arriving. Police officers were dispatched to the residence and a description of the car, the individual, and the possibility of him still being armed was communicated to other officers. The car was spotted on Mt. Carmel Road entering the ramp to southbound Interstate 83 where the car stop was initiated and the incident took place.
The officer involved in a shooting on I-83 is identified as Officer Page, a 21-year veteran of the department assigned to the Cockeysville Precinct (Precinct 7) with no prior police-involved shooting incidents. He will not face criminal charges and is back on active duty, the department announced Thursday

This one is tough,
That is tragic af. I usually side with cops but this, wtf? Its just overkill. You have distance so the guy isnt anymore of a threat than he was when he was in the car. At the very least shoot him a single time to see if he responds like most unarmed individuals that magically start listening after being hit. I get the danger he could pose but you have distance and a whole car between you!
Job is not just about killing bad guys You know?
Imagine being a mom wanting to make sure your hard head son gets back home safe, and you get a call saying this has happened to your son. Your last conversation was likely an argument and now you are going to feel like you killed your son for the rest of your life…
No 1 deserves that,. Im so sorry for the mom…..
When YouTube hits with the 5 time confirm
The other cop said hey shit not bc he shot like 8 times but bc as the guy fell he turned and at least two shots hit him in the back. Which is a big nono in self defense. A shot in the back just doesn't look good
i sure hope this got gets prosecuted… oh wait… he shot a white man… nevermind…no one seems to care about white shootings
If he really tried to commit suicide, that's a result.
8 bullets, after the 4th he clearly went down, why do cops so often overkill ?!
I didnt see a gun
I don't get why he was shot? Was he armed? I don't know if I agree with this one. I do most of the time but idk about this man
Nice pov tho
Can’t agree with this one, y’all.
8 shots … bet his mom is glad she called.
Bro wtf? Shooting someone bc they step out of their car now?? How tf is this dude back on duty?!
No weapon + gun death = murder. You'd be looking at murder charges if you weren't hiding behind a badge. Probably shouldn't become a cop if you're that f#*%ing scared….
Yikes officer mag dumped the hell out of him as he was already falling
WLM
This one feels a bit shakier than some of the other ones I've seen recently. :/
This is a murder.
The cop lit him up good. One might say he went with a bang… bang… bang… bang… bang… bang… bang… bang.
For what is 7-12?
good thing he didnt get charged for the shooting
8 طلقات على واØد سكران ØŒ لا ان شاء الله ØÙŠ 😂

8 shots. Couldn't it have been just 1?
Soooo they shot him because he got out of the car ?? What the fuck
This mom just killed her son, should have taken his keys
how to get shot (100% works) solution fixed
Bad shoot smh
Guy did not listen and rushes the cops. Guess that was reason to shoot an idiot. I would listen to the officers brandishing guns on me.
This dude was my middle school math teacher. He was a cool guy. Cant believe they lit him up like that
going to have a tough time with this one, guy was older and heavy set you could have just muscled him down. Be a bit more stern with your voice too
why so many bullets though??
8rounds in shot …wellp i wonder how he could survive through this
Murder no doubt
Why is everyone hating the officer? Seemed absolutely justified. He was running towards theofficer and was probably armed
Uhm…. Oops!.
One thing Im beginning to think about is whether I would EVER call 911 to help someone I loved who was in trouble…they often seem to end up being shot! What kind of help is that.
Ok, now that was highly unnecessary by the officer
How come alc is still legal
Unarmed..what a pussy
Too many shots but he wanted it so he deserved it, i guess.. I mean he did not obey and thas how its work..
