Gunnison, Colorado — On November 11, 2021, Sergeant Joseph Engleman, Officer Chris Isham, and Officer Kyle Timm were dispatched to Garden Walk Apartments in Gunnison, Colorado on a report that a non-resident was parking and possibly sleeping in a white 1994 Honda Accord located in the complex’s private parking lot. While enroute, dispatch ran a check on the license plate and notified the officers that it was reported stolen out of Lakewood Colorado. When they arrived, they parked their patrol vehicles blocking the exit to the lot and approached the Honda. A person, later identified as 44-year-old Gerry Cooper, was sitting in the driver’s seat, and was contacted by both Timm and Engleman.
They ordered him out of the car, and he failed to comply. Instead, he rapidly accelerated out of his parking space and attempted to escape. He side swiped the front passenger side of Isham’s vehicle and crashed into the front passenger side of Timm’s vehicle. He backed up and pulled forward hitting Isham’s vehicle again. Engleman managed to shatter the Honda’s driver side window in order to open the driver side door and remove Cooper from the vehicle. As he was reaching in, Cooper backed up again, striking Engleman with the door and dragging him backward before hitting a parked black truck. Engleman fired at Cooper from the ground twice while almost simultaneously Timm fired at him three times from the front of the vehicle. Isham did not fire his weapon. Cooper was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hey says GD it. I just got my car back too! Lmao
"I don't want to get run over again man" that was genuine fear there
He deserved it
Sad how long they have to wait these days…
Why would cops allow a suspect to use his car as a weapon to do collateral damage and cause human injury or possible death before shooting him in the head?
That deflated tire ended up causing more to the leg
If the suspect was black, BLM would be calling for riots.
"Dragged" is a weird way to describe "knocked over by the door he just opened", but okay.
Un homme avec ses problèmes, fini sa vie ainsi,c'est triste la misère humaine !
Whoever called Five-O didn't know the car was stolen. Why didn't they just initially ask dude to leave?? Really weird actually.
losing your life over a car you stole. Genius
My only issue….could have actually justified shooting sooner and would have prevented the cop's leg getting run over. Good job boys. Cutting the tires was also a great move….he wasn't going very far no matter what.
As Pop-Pop used to say
'Well now……. That's that.''
why didn't they block the car directly , just park right on his bumper he would be almost totally blocked and avoid the chances of all of this happening, especially if he was still sleeping so the element of surprise wasn't in consideration. the shooting is probably justified since he was reaching , but the incident could've been a lot smoother with an extra minute worth of planing.
they did not shoot enuf
Salute the Men in Blue !
Mais que faisait cet officier de police ,trop près du véhicule volé…?
Doctor Kyle not too much for lifesaving intervention and would rather Call It a Wrap.
He’s gone man, he’s gone. Who wants candy??
show us the corpse
Damn they have a hard job
JUST ANOTHER LOSER NO BIG DEAL I HOPE THE OFFICERS IS OK
I'm so grateful that the footage was censored. Now I can watch the video with… um… a toddler? Hang on, who was that censored for?
