A man was shot and wounded after police say he fired a revolver at an officer during an early-morning incident in Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville police said 20-year-old Elijah Eubanks was in stable condition Saturday at University of Louisville Hospital. Neither officer was injured. It happened around 1 a.m. Saturday at an apartment complex. Louisville Metro Police body camera footage, released Saturday, shows the officers talking to several people in a car. As the officers repeatedly ask a passenger to exit, he asks why he’s being harassed. As an officer opened the car door, police say the man fired a shot at him. Police say both officers fired back. Multiple shots are heard on the video. Police Maj. Frank Hardison, commander of the department’s special investigations division, said a revolver was recovered from the scene At a Saturday afternoon news conference, Hardison said the officers were responding to a report of an “occupied, suspicious” vehicle that was called in by a “courtesy officer” — a city police officer who lives in the complex and provides security there.
In the body camera footage, an officer identified as Ian Stuart tells the car’s driver to exit, while the other officer, Eric Goldschmidt, approaches the passenger side where Eubanks is seated. The officers repeatedly ask Eubanks to exit, but he doesn’t. “Why are you harassing me, sir?” Eubanks asks Goldschmidt. “We had a call of suspicious individuals, nobody recognized in this car,” Goldschmidt replies “This is her house,” Eubanks responds, gesturing to an unidentified person in the backseat. “This is his mom’s car.” After more back-and-forth, Goldschmidt goes to the passenger door. As it opens, footage shows Eubanks bringing up one hand and pointing it in the officer’s direction. Although his hand is in shadows, he appears to be holding something dark. Goldschmidt immediately shouts, “Gun! Gun, gun, gun!” as multiple shots ring out. Police Chief Steve Conrad said the video was released quickly because it’s imperative for the department to be “a model of transparency.” The shooting came two days after an off-duty police officer in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, was shot and killed. The suspect in that case was found and killed Friday by law enforcement officials in Tennessee.

This is obviously a justified shooting. I just wonder, does a African- American sitting in a car constiute suspicious activity? How? Why? This all could have been avoided had the security guy not been racist in the first place.
Eh he’s one of those “people who annoy you†so…. good riddance tbh
Biden supporters. Smh
You just won a stupid prize
What an idiot
And that PARENTS is why you don't teach your kid every cop is out to kill you, and you should be deadly afraid of them. Because when they come knocking, and your upbringing has taught you to fear for your life, you'll pull a gun on them and get swiss cheesed.
I hope he made it and learned his lesson.
every single person that questions everything the police are asking all have something to hide…plus great friends choices there alexis…🤔🤔🤔
Lmao must be a proud mom to have her daughter date trash like this.
Eric Andre got shot?!
CNN where was this?
“Alexis†should have NOT hung out with that dude, I hope she learned her lesson….
4:06 is he wearing pajamas?
Why aiming a gun at an cop? What did expect?
Holy shit that dude aimed right for the cops head instantly as if he had Quickdraw enabled in his perks. But luckily the cop had Double Time enabled and the other cop had Steady Aim enabled.
This is what happens when you choose to date a thug. That girl knew he had a gun, right?
The body cam IMO is the best thing to happen for law enforcement that could ever happen it keeps everybody honest and accountable.
Wish more Shitbags would take the room temperature challenge!!
🎶🎶🎶Another one bites the dust🎶🎶🎶
Thats a good mom RIGHT there
Cool as a cucumber
And another case of "stupid guy doesn't follow commands and gets his ass handed to him". – People…
BLM be like he didn’t do nothing wrong
You know he's a fucking idiot when he says 'i didn't do nuffin' after aiming a gun at police
I clicked on the video because the guy looked like an idiotic moron and wanted to see him get shot.
✊ðŸ¿âœŠðŸ¿ðŸ‘🿠Black power!
I can't breathe! Hands up dont shoot!
Black lives matter! Justice for Trayvon! Say his name! No justice no peace!
Resist the police!
Defund the police NOW!
What a low life scum bag got what he deserved.
The guy pointed the gun to the face when the officer open the door, the cop could end dead.
Went to school went em
Dude deserved what he got. Simple cooperation is all it takes
Thats why police should not ask for 3rd time because good citizen or not guilty they will comply from the first request by the police
BBC
This I to all the black people that watch these videos, and read these comments. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS. BE SMART.
I think I’m high school we should teach compliance with police and that being asked to step out of your vehicle is a lawful order
Brazil?????
That is why you should taze them immediately by the first sign of non cooperation.
* Idiot pulls gun on officer and gets shot *
“WhAt DiD I Do?!?! wHaT dId I dO?!?!â€
Dude's like all kinds of "TUFF" riding around with that gun, then begs for Mommy, when they're busted…🤣🤣🤣
How dumb do you have to be
Unfortunately he survived
"LMPD says the video shows Elijah Eubanks refusing their commands while inside a vehicle. Moments later, LMPD says Eubanks fired at officers with a revolver."
"But, his family disputes Eubanks used it. "I never seen my nephew pull a gun. You open fire five times. Is that justifiable? Did you have to shoot five times? Once was enough," Eubanks' Aunt Marja Ellis said."
He looked stupid, has a dummy like face as soon as the light hit his face you could tell he was an idiot
