Lima, Ohio — On October 31st, 2025, Lima Police Department (LPD) officers conducted a traffic stop on St. Johns Ave just north of Second St. There were three people inside the vehicle, including 35-year-old Emerson Jeffrey, who was sitting in the back seat. Because of the number of occupants, several officers responded to assist with the stop, following department safety protocol. As officers approached the car, Officer Bryce Metz came up to the passenger side and began speaking with the occupants. Body camera footage later revealed that Jeffrey tried to get Officer Metz’s attention, saying something along the lines of, “I’m about to do something, because that’s who I am.†He then told Officer Metz to have the two people in the front seats “get out of here.†When Officer Metz asked him what he meant, Jeffrey didn’t respond. Officer Metz then directed another officer to remove Jeffrey from the vehicle. Almost immediately after Officer Metz gave that order, Jeffrey pulled out a handgun and opened fire, striking Officer Metz.
Officer Metz fell to the ground, radioing that he had been hit, while other officers took cover and returned fire toward the suspect. During the exchange, Jeffrey and a front-seat passenger were both struck. Once the gunfire stopped and the threat was contained, officers rushed in to perform life-saving measures on both Officer Metz and Jeffrey until medics arrived. Officer Metz was taken to Mercy Health St. Rita’s in stable condition and later released to recover at home. No other officers required medical attention. Jeffrey was transported first to Lima Memorial Hospital, then airlifted to Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, where he remains under police supervision. A front seat passenger was injured during the incident; however, was treated and released after a short time at Mercy Health St. Rita’s. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is now leading the independent review of the shooting, while the Lima Police Department conducts a separate criminal investigation into Jeffrey’s actions.

Trying to think how that female cop could have been more useless? She stood around for most of time and when the action started she fled like a scared rabbit.
Cowardly cops should be automatically fired. You’re not cut out for it. Lead officer and the chick are useless.
3:35 nussy piggers
Scream by avenged sevenfold was such a random song to play during this 😂
Other 2 cops r pathetic
Based off his music he wanted the smoke
Now that's how you deal with these assholes fuck this taking them to jail shit make it the morgue!💯
The next Olympics is in 2028 why are those cowards officers running already
Putting inncent people at risk then saying nice shot while checking the dead suspect is totally un professiona!
Bumping avenged seven fold lol
Those two "officers" should be fired. That's absolutely unconscionable.
The clearest incident seen in the video: The officers fleeing. Will they be fired? Do you think so?
Them cops should've reloaded. We don't need these kinds of people in society
I saw a car get pulled over. A window break. Then a crap load of shooting.
Who were the cops firing at in the bushes?
Numerous rounds and they couldn’t even get rid of the scumbag. Time for some extended shooting range visits.
Public defender and judge should be liable and grievance filed immediately!
I love how the female officer was just chilling at the back right of the vehicle while her partners were getting the front passenger and drivers info. Didn’t care to positions herself to watch the guy in the back seat. Just stood there doing nothing
2 officers that ran off probably worked at Uvalde department
Killing demons while sicks riffs last is awesome…Avenged 7x I think
"Sticks and Stones" by Mudvayne was heard playing, in case some of you didn't noticed.
Female officers as Partners? Cooked completely Air Fried Deep fried Well done Cooked useless
By the comments here, we all know who we WOULDN'T want as partners/backup.
JUSTIFIED AS FUCK!!!! I dont care how many times cops shoot some asshole. Ventilate them good and well!!!! Keep shooting till the slide locks back!!!! Hope you have a P320 with a 21 round mag plus 1min the pipe. And the 30 round mags as spares to reload and keep dumping. Fuck these criminal fucks!!!
Legend is that the other 2 officers are still running to this day…
So you shoot at officers, hit one and then scream like a little kid when you get shot back. What were you expecting??
He deserves better backup.
His fellow cops abandoned him, absolutely pathetic.
That was confusing as hell…
Rumor has it ladycop is still running
Why did PoliceActivity stop editing out all of the scenes where nothing is going on? Video should have started at 3:30
Was the suspect fatally shot?
Horrendous all the way around. Those cowardly cops that ran were disgusting. DONT waste my tax dollars flying a piece of trash to be saved!!!!
Legend says the responding officers are still shooting crossfire into the downed officer to this day.
Imagine if you don’t have back up they going to code 69 behind the three
Gonna be an interesting dynamic back at the station going forward
Now ‘Officer’ Betty Blue can RUN! Scurried her 🫠off to never be seen again. 😢
It angers me badly seeing those two cops running away like some cowards while their partner was eating bullets and bleeding out. They didn’t even give him one single ounce of consideration. They could have absolutely wasted the suspect and rendered aid to the officer who was shot
We just gonna ignore the Officer's excellent taste in music?? â¤â¤â¤
Those 2 officers ran to go get some milk
WTF! TWO OFFICERS ARE COWARDS THAT RUN AWAY WTF! DID NOT RETURN FIRE WTF!
The 2 officers that ran for cover, did they ever fire any shots ? Never saw any hits on the window until the additional back up unit.
They filled this mtherfker like swiss cheese! LMFAO!
And this is why when you go on a ts- it is imperative you tell your dispatcher- on air!
It is not about us micromanaging- it is about your safety. Things can go sideways in an instant- as this proves. 😣
Partners are straight bozos
The other two officers ran like cowards and left the one officer exposed. They should be ashamed. Chief of police better take action.
gs
I think the 2 other officers ran off to look for McDonald’s applications
Shoot at the police if you want to. 😂
I applaud the officer for his patrol time music choice. Too bad the jackass survived to thug another day.
