Bodycam Footage Reveals Details of Denver Police Shooting That Injured 6 Bystanders

HeadlineAug 19, 2022

In Colorado, a grand jury is investigating a Denver police shooting that left at least seven people injured in July. Recently released body-camera footage revealed new details of the chaos that unfolded. Denver police had reportedly previously omitted key facts from earlier descriptions of the shooting, including that the man they were pursuing, 21-year-old Jordan Waddy, was throwing away his handgun when police shot him anyway, and that Waddy had raised his hands when police first approached him. Six bystanders who were standing nearby were also wounded.
