The body camera video does not show any of the victims nor can gunshots be heard in the video. The footage does show the moments officers in tactical gear going up floor-by-floor to where the shooting took place.
Once officers reached the medical office’s floor, they rushed the employees who were hiding to safety. The footage then shows them proceeding room-to-room looking for Patterson, who was no longer in the building.
After the shooting, police said Patterson stole a vehicle in midtown and then led officers on an hours-long manhunt before he was caught hiding in a pool house in Cobb County.
