One second an officer is seen drawing his weapon from his holster like a gunslinger and pointing it straight in the direction of a dashcam in an approaching police car.
Seconds later, the same officer now with his gun holstered is captured on the camera crouching and clutching his left shoulder in pain.
The 35-second video of the shooting in the police departments parking garage on Sept. 7 was released Wednesday.
The wounded officer has recovered from his injuries, Police Chief Gene Harris said in a statement that was included with the video.
