Body camera footage shows a Columbus police sergeant fired more than 10 gunshots into the windshield while on the hood of a stolen vehicle that struck him in a North Side parking lot.
The sergeant, who has worked for Columbus police for 10 years, has not been identified.
The bodycam and dash camera footage from a police cruiser, released Friday, shows what occurred Wednesday afternoon as Columbus police officers attempted to stop a 2015 Toyota Corolla that had been reported stolen from Lancaster.
The video footage shows the car, driven by 32-year-old Holly Graham , driving in circles around gas pumps at two service stations on East Dublin-Granville Road as police attempt to stop her.
On at least two occasions, Graham pulls into a pump, and police pull in behind her, giving her verbal commands to show her hands, but Graham drives away. For more than five minutes, officers attempt to block Graham in the parking lots, finally attempting to use stop sticks to disable the vehicle in a parking lot of the Huntley Square shopping plaza near the intersection of Huntley Road and East Dublin-Granville Road.
