Shotgun Wielding Woman Taken Down by French Police
Published 3 years ago
Footage captured from a by stander perspective shows French police officers de-escalating a situation where a middle aged white woman was armed with a shotgun. As the officers press forward towards the woman, she begins backing herself into a cornered driveway.
From the same perspective, we see an officer and a citizen maneuvering through a back yard gate in preparation of a non-lethal takedown of the subject. As the suspect becomes more focused on the officers in the street, the flanking officer rushes her blind spot and 'spear tackles' her. In the midst of falling to the ground, the shotgun rings out a single shell.
Luckily no one was injured by this shell, as it was discharged in a direction of no participating officers or bystanders,
