Chillicothe, Ohio — On Thursday, November 17, 2022, around 5:00 p.m., Ross County Sheriff’s Deputy, Sgt. Eric Kocheran wasn’t wearing a bullet-proof vest, and it was the end of his shift. Sgt. Kocheran was at 28 N. Paint St., Chillicothe, the “Law Enforcement Complex” where he was typing reports. A 42-year-old male, identified as Nicholas Mitchell, approached the rear door of 28 N. Paint St. and knocked on the door. Sgt. Kocheran went to the said door, opened it, and asked what Mitchell needed. Mitchell first told Sgt. Kocheran, he needed to get “more officers” there. Sgt. Kocheran again asked, what was going on. Mitchell stated, “Um, somebody said they were gonna hurt my family. They wanted me to hurt kids and I can’t do it.”
Dep. Kocheran said, “okay.” Mitchell stated, “So, I gotta do this.” Mitchell said that just as he pulled a firearm a firearm from his pocket. Mitchell manipulated the slide action of the weapon and fired a shot. Sgt. Kocheran had drawn his weapon and he too fired a shot. Both individuals fired multiple rounds. Both individuals were struck by projectiles/bullets and went to the ground. EMS was summoned and transported both individuals by squad to area hospitals. Ultimately Mitchell, after receiving medical care, had succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at Adena Hospital. Sgt. Kocheran was shot in the chest. The bullet hit his lung, bruised his heart, and went through his liver. Sgt. Kocheran, after several surgeries and an extensive hospital stay, was able to recover from his injuries.

This why police usually don’t wait to shoot !
I hate to say it…if the perp was another color he woulda never got the opportunity…people are getting murdered for having cell phones in their hands. How was he able to get a shot off???
Lot of lawless people these poor police always on guard
Truly horrific 😢
Did you find out what it was: drugs or an attack of “schizophrenia�
anyone else hear that raven?
this one is super old
What a nut job….
Officers have better situational awareness someting just didn't feel right when he came up to the police officer, I knew something bad was going to happen before it happen. His hands was in his pocket and he seems to be hiding something. Situational Awareness is important for everybody to learn it how you keep yourself safe.
"Sgt. Kocheran was shot in the chest. The bullet hit his lung, bruised his heart, and went through his liver. Sgt. Kocheran, after several surgeries and an extensive hospital stay, was able to recover from his injuries."
He will never be fully recovered.
Damm that's sad.. but did that cop not have on a vest or something
It looks like there's a ton of blud where it happened before it happened
💙🇨🇦🇺🇲ðŸ™ðŸ’™
What a horrible day!
you cannot hesitate, that sucks man..
So sad the officer hesitated due to his compassion, didnt realize how actually bad of a situation he was in… officer needed to be much more aggresive.. i truly feel bad for him
Note Sgt. Eric Kocheran was the officer that was shot in the chest. He recently got released from the hospital and is doing okay update on the officer
did these cops forget their radios at home or what ?
That was nuts !!
Exposing yourself to a drawn gun without firing first.
He failed to recognize that his authority had no ramifications at this point, that it was strictly in survival mode at which the suspect had put him in.
Cleary a teachable moment here.
Truly believe this was suicide by cop, im going to play devil’s advocate and say that the suspect didn’t want to harm the officer, just that he wanted to die, hence why he shot what looks to be below the officer, it wasn’t until the suspect got shot and flinched did he fire a second round which almost costed the officer his life. Surreal and disturbing to hear the officer gurgle.
If someone points a gun at you, he's most certainly not gonna kiss ot hug you.
why did he do that? Is he crazy
The response time at this police station was abysmal. It's crazy how there are ,supposedly, millions of jobs available nationwide, yet so many companies and agencies are so woefully understaffed. This was infuriating to watch. They didn't even check to clear the suspect. I mean, yeah, I'm guessing he didn't make it, but the gun was still at his side.
That officer isn't cut out for this :/
The first officer to respond was a joke. She seems dazed and doesn't once check to ensure the threat is neutralized. Just kneels down and starts asking questions like they're having lunch. Should have immediately went outside.
this is not the first person to say they were told to shoot a bunch of kids or them and their family would be killed. All the other people left it in a note before deleting themselves saying they couldn't do it. but still… there should definitely be someone looking into those claims.
Mental health reform NOW!!!
Oh my. Sergeant Kocheran . May the Lord bless you and keep you. You will get a stage pass for Immediate entrance to Heaven one day. I have seen hundreds of these type videos on Police Activity for a year and this is the first one that made me, a 65 year old man, cry in horror and sorrow. I cannot express enough that you are a special human being and I hope you heal completely. We love you, Sir.
Reddit bro be like…
This, this is why cops are always on edge.
Where's all the contacts?
Cop thought he was talking to his peoples and got the ghetto treatment.
All he had to do was shut the door lmao
Damn now i wanna know the lore behind the guy who shoot
WTF happened?
that must have been an insane 20 seconds
It’s 2024 why in the heck would a police officer not be wearing a bulletproof vest. This is an evil world and things are only going to get worse. Let this be an example to ALL law enforcement 😢
America is pretty fucked up
😢oh my goodness
It’s so unbelievable what people do to each other.
Very glad the police officer has recovered.
hesitation can be deadly
why did he wait so long to shoot smh
Aren't all PD and Sherrif Office stations have like fences around their parking lot?
This one is heavy. Wish the sergeant a speedy recovery…
Another reason to have a vest on….most are level 3 and would have stopped a pistol round.
And each patrol car is an emergency vehicle….load and go…waited way too long for EMS.
