@lawandcrime: A friendly encounter between police and a suspect suddenly turns into a #footchase that escalated into a shootout. The #BuffaloPoliceDepartment in New York released bodycam footage showing a police officer and an allegedly armed suspect exchanging gunfire on July 24. Police responded to a call about an apparent threat, which was followed by a friendly conversation between officers and the men in question. During the conversation, an officer noticed a bulge in one of the man's pants, which he believed to be a firearm. When the officer confronted the man about the bulge, the suspect apparently took off running and allegedly shot at the officer who pursued him. The officer returned fire and lost the suspect shortly after. Another officer found the suspect laying next to a fence and took him into custody. According to police, the officer involved in the shooting and the suspect did not suffer any injuries.
