'COPS' video footage of 2014 fatal shooting at Wendy's released
Dramatic video of the 2014 killing of a crew member for the TV show "Cops" during a shootout in a Nebraska Wendy's was made public this week.
The video, released Tuesday, shows officers racing into the Omaha restaurant and firing repeatedly at a robber armed with a pellet gun. Then, in the vestibule of the restaurant, Bryce Dion, 38, a sound supervisor on the show, is seen slumped over.
Dion, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, died after a police round hit him below his left armpit, where the vest had an opening.
The robber, Cortez Washington, 32, was also killed. The Omaha Police Department has since said that officers in the shootout believed that Washington had a real gun on him.
