Body Cam Footage Captures The Moment A Cop Is Fatally Shot Whilst Responding To A Domestic Violence Call

This is the shocking moment a cop is checking up on a domestic abuse call and as the front door to the house opens a man pokes his head out and before either of them can say a single word he shoots the police officer dead.

The incident occurred when Officer Jimmy Inn, age not stated, was called to investigate a domestic abuse report on La Cresta Way in the city of Stockton in California at around 10.00 am on 11th May.

Officer Inn’s bodycam footage shows him slowly approaching the house and waiting patiently for the door to open.

Lance Lowe, 30, slowly opens the door and without uttering a single word of warning shoots Officer Inn several times.

Inn falls to the ground and dies later that day in the hospital leaving behind his wife and three children.

According to the local news site Daily Stockton News, Lowe then went back into his house, grabbed his eight-year-old son and came back out holding the child by the neck.

The bodycam footage from the second officer, who was not named, shows Lowe holding the boy by the neck using him as a human shield whilst the officer repeatedly tells him to “let go of the kid”.

The standoff lasts for several seconds as the officer is hesitant to shoot whilst the young boy is in Lowe’s grasp.

A passerby charges at Lowe at which point the suspect falls to the ground and the little boy gets away.
