The vehicle being pursued had been reported stolen and was associated with an armed robbery.
On March 24, 2021, at 2:48 pm, Fremont Police Officer Burch was in the Ardenwood area of Fremont. Officer Burch was wearing his full police uniform and riding his fully marked police motorcycle. Officer Burch was working traffic enforcement when he heard over his police radio a vehicle had activated a License Plate Reader camera in the area. This vehicle was wanted in connection with an armed robbery with the use of a firearm in San Francisco. The vehicle was also reported stolen. Officer Burch located the suspect vehicle as it entered Newark from southbound Ardenwood Blvd in Fremont. Officer Burch broadcasted that he located the vehicle in a shopping center in Newark.
Officer Burch followed the vehicle through the parking lot while waiting for additional officers to arrive. The vehicle attempted to flee and Officer Burch initiated a pursuit. The suspect vehicle drove northbound on Newark Blvd. and turned onto the on-ramp of eastbound Hwy 84. The suspect struck several vehicles as it fled from Officer Burch and became disabled. The suspect vehicle made its way to the right shoulder and abruptly stopped. The suspect immediately exited his vehicle with a firearm while running towards and shooting at Officer Burch, who was still on his motorcycle.

Hey, good job!
Clean shot officer😎
When you live 5 mins from the shopping center and the highway
That was a hell of a shot! Cop moving away from being fired upon then hits moving target trying to steal his bike.
Yo Ive never aimed a gun but i know for sure it aint that easy like it is in video games. The aim on this man when it counted was satisfying to see.
his a handgun master
Bap bap drop
My favorite part is JJ rounding the bases and sliding into hell, partially-head first.
How come when he was getting shot at it showed a guy in a red hoodie right there on the road in front of the bike but when he returned fire the guy was just wearing a tan or white shirt?
I love how he went to inspect the pavement
Where in the hell is NBC, ABC, FOX News???? where are all those folks putting down the police saying police are shooting at people for no reason?? yeah that's what I thought..just pisses me off!!!
🥓🥓
Did anyone else get dizzy from watching the bike's tight maneuvers in the parking lot?…😵
Amazing shooting by that officer
Don't know if anyone had mentioned it but that sharp u turn in the parking lot was great too.
I love how fast their head hits the ground after they’re shot 😂 🤣
2:59 Neymar everytime someone touches him
Outstanding response.
Damn, Officer Burch had damn good marksmanship
Such a sexy bike
Good to see the officer is safe
2:57 what was his plan, Stealing the bike?

Cop is like that motorcycle cop from Terminator 2 who is a badass.
Huge respect to this cop. Kept his cool and outmaneuvered that POS. Good stuff
My man dodged bullets, kept his cool and put shots on target from a significant distance. What a savage.
Yo what a badass.. Good job sir, reactions were on point and by look of it good shot placement as well, and it was after diving down a ditch ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠well done..
Amazing.
That was a fantastic shot.
Excellent job by that officer…stay safe out there peace officers
I’m kinda disappointed. A 90 mph pit maneuver on a motorcycle would’ve been sick
Good job!
