The Georgia government has released framed camera footage showing the terrifying moment when a fugitive shot and shot a deputy sheriff when he pulled up on a highway before dawn Monday morning.
In the video, a deputy sheriff with a flashlight approaches a pickup truck that has a trailer in the back.
As he approached the driver’s side window, he spotted a guy wearing glasses and a purple tank top.
The deputy sheriff asks the guy for identification. Right after, the guy throws a gun and the officer seems to dodge him. The video ends at this point.
