Dash and body cam shows officers shooting at car as it reverses into a police car
Newly released dash camera and body camera video from the Hennepin County Attorney's Office shows the moment Minneapolis Police Officer Efrem Hamilton shot at a car in downtown Minneapolis in November 2016.
Last week, a jury found Officer Hamilton not guilty and was cleared of three criminal counts.
That night, Hamilton was in uniform, but working off-duty at a downtown bar when he heard reports of a fight with shots fired several blocks away outside a nightclub. He drove to the scene in his squad car, where a car containing six people, not involved in the incident, backed into his squad car. No one was injured in the shooting.
Dash cam video shows Hamilton drive to the scene. As he pulls up to the police scene, a car backs into his squad. As soon as he gets out of the car, Officer Hamilton fires a shot.
