Video shows Miami Beach police shooting man
This one occurred Saturday morning when a Miami Beach, Florida, officer killed a man during a confrontation on a busy street.
Clerks at the bank’s Alton Road location triggered a silent alarm after a suspect passed a note to a teller that said he was armed with a bomb.
Officers responded and were told the suspect had fled the scene and was seen entering a barbershop at 1530 Alton Road, officials said.
After refusing the leave the shop for a while, the man came out, wielding a blade often used by barbers for shaving. He then exited the shop with a “straight edge razor in his hand”.
Zhao was arrested immediately by a Miami police officer whom she made a shocking confession to.
While the Miami Beach Police did not specify who fired the shots, the shooting was caught on video, which appears to show a police officer firing at the suspect. In the footage, the man took a step toward the armed officers and placed his hand on a squad auto. The shooting, under department policy, will be investigated by the Miami-Dade Police Department, he said.
The Miami-Dade County Police Department could not be immediately reached for comment. Police have not said whether the officers used such a device. Shots were fired and the suspect was killed.
“He was gesturing for them to like come at him”, Stephanie Dsoto said.
Hundreds of passengers were evacuated from a Norwegian Cruise Line ship docked in PortMiami after, police said, one guest disobeyed boarding rules. He grabbed a straightedge razor and ran into the street, where he was surrounded by officers.
“Miami Beach Police Officers tried to talk him down, but he just wouldn’t cooperate”.
Alton Road between 15th Street and 16th Street was closed while police investigated.
“I looked to my left and there was a guy inside of the barbershop… and he was banging on the window with a sharp object, maybe a knife or so”, Johnson said.
Marcellus Johnson, who shot the video posted on Instagram, told CNN he was walking to get coffee when he noticed a crowd of people with their camera phones up.
Event photographer Marcellus Johnson, 41, of Miami filmed some of the confrontation on his cell phone and said many other bystanders were doing the same.
