A police officer was justified in shooting a man suspected of robbing a Capitol Hill convenience store at gunpoint and will not face charges, the Denver District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday. Body camera video of the shooting was released by prosecutors. According to District Attorney Beth McCann’s decision letter, an employee ran outside and flagged down two Denver police officers on June 13 when Carnell Nelson took out a gun inside the store along a busy section of Colfax Avenue near the state Capitol. McCann says Nelson shot first as police pursued him and struck officer Travis Lloyd in the leg. McCann’s letter says Nelson fired five shots and also hit a bystander’s foot. McCann says Lloyd fired 13 times, striking Nelson once in the chest. McCann says Lloyd was defending himself and other people on the street when he shot and killed Nelson. Police located two other people who had been injured by gunfire and both were taken to the hospital. A man had a graze wound and was treated and released, and a woman required surgery and ongoing hospitalization for a gunshot wound to her leg. Police believe she was hit by one of the suspect’s bullets, Archer said, and that the man’s injury may have come from a ricocheting bullet from one of the officer’s rounds.

That officer did amazing. Wounded in the leg he remained calm, performed a tactical reload, used cover well and immediately retrained his weapon on the felon. I'm glad to hear this dangerous felon was killed. The real tragedy is the bystanders struck by bullets.
TRAV MUST ME GOATED
Not trying to Monday morning quarter back it here but a tourniquet should ideally only be used for arterial bleeds, from the looks of it the bleed didn’t look arterial to me. But if that’s all they had to use hey do what you can 👠US Navy Corpsman
What the hell are doing people walking around surrounded by police pointing to somewhere? There's something dangerous going on, just GTFO
I love how calm the officer was when shot
This would have been a perfect video, if the mother wasn’t shot, too. Thank God one or both of her kids didn’t get shot, too.
Excellent job to the officers and the woman’s children for taking care of business! I hope the mother was okay!
That silly robber. 🤣🤣
Guy is boss
He protecting his partner that melted my heart
How rude! Cop tells his mate to sit the f**k down. ðŸ˜
Good thing tourniquet boy was there doing not much…. guess he was saving ammo.
Any cop who wears shorts wasn’t expecting to use his gun that day.
Such a Boss.
I mean yall have killed innocent ppl on camra but im not saying the robber was right at all but at the end of the day yall rlly need to improve on other stuff and stop harming innocent ppl
That cop is the definition of masculinity
who would have thought getting shot hurts 😮
Poster boy for stay in the fight and on top of that still went over to check on the bystanders in case they needed help what a guy 🤙ðŸ½
trav the goat
Sit down.. "Im Good".. I know your good.. Sit the fuck down TRAV!"
great legs
He's brave, but trying to act the hero is not wise. I don't think it's a good example.
2:26 : where did you get shot mam.
Right here .
Okay hold pressure I'm shot to
Did the cops shoot her?
Le 56%?
Imagine cops shooting an innocent bystander in broad daylight over a 7-11 cash register. And the suspect escaped. Great work.
HOLY FUCK THIS OFFICER IS A HERO
When you take an oath to protect and serve, and catch it on video. This man is the epitome of what it means to be an officer. He refused to tend to himself before securing the scene and helping others. The most admirable thing I’ve seen.
Baller!
Mark that down as Tourniquet Time, or what the local department guys all now call Tuesdays. – j q t –
Comp got hit didn’t flinch and dumped his mag so quick respect
great officer
When the “I got black friends too†can’t work, “I got shot tooâ€
4:51 when friendly fire is off

Who gave the mail man a gun …. and a big ass gulp of badass
This dude orders a tourniquet in the same way a normal dude orders a pizza. lol
What a legend. Still wants to keep going even after being shot 😂
Officer Travis Lloyd should get his own cell…
