Gunfight on a Nashville bridge

This bodycam and dashcam compilation shows police officers in Nashville, Tennessee, as they attempt to apprehend a man suspected of a shooting earlier in the day. A brief gunfight ensues, and the suspect is killed. Viewer discretion is advised. Tadarius Hunt, 29 years of age, is shown here attempting to run away from law enforcement. He is either affecting inattention and pretending to jog, or has been on the run for quite some time. It's anything but a sprint. He has been identified as the culprit of a shooting earlier in the day, in which a 44-year-old employee at a local homeless shelter, the Nashville Rescue Mission, had been shot multiple times. Witnesses attest that the employee had banned Hunt from the property. Despite attempts to flag him down, Hunt ignores the police officers and continues to jog away. Nashville PD hems him in on an overpass, at which point Hunt draws his handgun (0:38). Hunt and an officer exchange several rounds, at which point he goes down (0:41). We then see the action play out from two officers' viewpoints. The contact officer, Ofc. Breece, also fired at Hunt. Ofc. Lewis, the backup officer on whom Hunt initially drew, reveals that he has been hit in the leg. Hunt was transported to an area hospital, but died while receiving care. Ofc. Lewis was treated for a graze and later released.
