TPD eventually corners the 16
year old behind a house on Verm.
The teen puts a gun to his head.
The suspect kind of transitions from having
a gun to his head to down by his side,
seeing it swinging back and for,
kind of raising it a couple tim,
and then points it at police.
Prompting eight officers to open fire.
Now there are still several
unanswered questions.
The police chief saying that the
officers involved are still on leave,
which is standard practice,
so the department still
needs to talk with them.
We did speak to Toledo Mayor Wae
Caps and Cabbage this afternoon.
He says the body Cam is the most
gruesome that he has ever seen n
his time during mayor as mayor.
And told WTOL 11 that police
acted within policy.
Melissa
Well Jeff the chief says the
suspect shot at officers once so
they thought he could shoot aga.
But all the officers involved
tried to talk the suspect down
before he raised the gun at the.
Kaylee Kirby joins us live to talk about
some of these DE escalation techniques.
Kaylee, how much time did offics
spend trying to calm him down?
Yeah, Melissa, the video that we
got from Toledo Police was a lie
bit more than 3 minutes long.
That's a body Cam video.
And in that video,
police told the suspect they wod
be there as long as it needed t,
as long as they needed to,
for that suspect to put the
gun down and to talk to them.
But once the suspect pointed
the gun at officers,
they took action.
Drop it. Drop it. Drop it.
The moment our officers step oue
their station and get in their ,
they immediately have to be
prepared for anything to happen.
Like this armed robbery that turned into
a chase, Police cornering the suspect,
16 year old Jamison Turnbull,
and trying to deescalate the situation. Put
it down buddy. Please put it down dude.
All you have to do is put the gun down.
You're not in that much trouble.
Five of the eight officers involved are
part of the Crisis Interventionm
and have training in these situations
using phrases like put it down.
It doesn't have to be this way.
We just want to talk in this,
All right, You got a long life ahead of you.
There's no reason for this to
go down this way, All right?
You haven't done anything that .
And one of those officers is a
critical incident negotiation tm
member who's the main person trg
to get Turnbull to put the gun ?
Several of our sergeants carry
a foam round and I think it's
a 40 millimeter projectile,
kind of like a beanbag,
but it's made out of a foam.
And there is a chance that if we
could deploy that we could knock
him off balance and maybe be
able to take him into custody.
But the chief says the vehicles
with the rounds were too far aw.
All you have to do is put the gun down,
right? You're going to go and you're going
to probably get released to your parents,
and Turnbull's actions ultimatey
dictated what they had to do,
even after trying to talk him d.
No officer wants to take
any other person's life.
They're trained, you know,
to preserve life, including their own.
The suspect took actions that pt
their lives in danger and resid.
As we've mentioned, those offics
still on paid leave tonight,
the chief says those officers
are scheduled to have interviews
tomorrow about the incident.
Reporting live in downtown Tole.
