On Sunday, this Amazon security trainee, for an unknown reason, tried to kill his supervisor at point blank range with a pistol.
It's all on tape, but let's get you the details first.
An Amazon security guard tried to kill his supervisor at close range before shooting a police officer in a dramatic shoutout that was caught on bodycam footage.
Ali Hamsa Yusuf, 22, was fatally shot by police after he opened fire on an officer who was saved by his bulletproof vest, authorities said.
The initial shooting occurred around 4:40 pm Sunday at the warehouse in West Jefferson, Ohio, and was captured on surveillance footage, police said …
There were more than 100 workers inside the building when the shooting occurred.
Yusuf had only been training at the facility for about two weeks when this all went down, and he was not authorized to carry a gun while on duty. He had no known criminal history prior to the incident.
Yusuf took an unusually long break on Sunday, and his supervisor started to worry about him, but he never expected this:
[Warning: Violence]
Yusuf's gun jammed when he initially tried to shoot his supervisor, and the second shot he took barely missed his head. The shot that hit the officer was deflected by his bulletproof vest and only caused a minor injury. Needless to say, things could've been much, much worse.
[Police Chief Brandon] Smith said police responded and arrived within two minutes of receiving reports of an active shooter.
Yusuf soon fled the building but was spotted later on Sunday in Columbus by Madison County authorities. Yusuf chased his supervisor for about 15 yards.
An hour and a half later, officers found Yusuf in the area of Georgesville and Clime roads.
Franklin Township and Columbus police tried to stop his vehicle a short time later, and Yusuf then left the vehicle and began firing at a Columbus officer, who police said was hit by a bullet but was not seriously injured due to his bulletproof vest.
Yusuf then tried to run away as other officers fired at him, and he was hit by at least one bullet.
The officer who was shot was treated for his minor injuries and released from the hospital the same day.
Yusuf was not so lucky, and he was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
