Oregon State Police released bodycam and dashcam video of their pursuit of Elias Huizar, a Washington ex-cop who in April killed his girlfriend and ex-wife, then kidnapped his own son.
The video is from April 23, when officers recognized Huizar's car that was reported in an AMBER Alert posted the day before. They attempted a traffic stop, but Huizar sped away. Within minutes, several patrol cars joined the pursuit, and video shows an officer strike Huizar's car with a PIT maneuver.Huizar, who had his 1-year-old son in the car, slows to a stop and starts firing at officers, who fire back.
Several police officers arrive and attempt to make contact with Huizar, but just before 3:00 p.m., they confirm that Huizar fatally shot himself. Officers were able to rescue his 1-year-old son, who was later reunited with family members.The Linn County District Attorney issued a determination on June 6 that Oregon State Police's use of force was justified, given the "imminent and immediate threat to life" of Huizar's eluding of police.
