SAN JOSE, Calif. Edited bodycamera video was released by the San Jose Police Department showing some of what happened during a multi-county chase related to an armed carjacking where a suspect was killed, and a sergeant was struck by the suspect’s bullets, injuring his hand and fracturing his skull.

The flashpoint of the violence began on Jan. 21 when San Jose’s Automated License Plate Reader cameras pinged a stolen green Corvette from a car dealership on Capitol Expressway, where the suspect had allegedly held up an employee at gunpoint.

A police pursuit of the suspect – identified by police as Mohamed Husien, 30, of Davis — took authorities into Hollister, where one of two shootouts occurred.
