Original Note:
At 0:07, the suspect appears to reach for a gun near his waist after the officer instructed both him and his female accomplice to put their hands up. The officer's response was justified, as it was a self-defense action against a perceived threat, not an "ambush overkill." https://gazette.com/news/crime/video-cspd-releases-body-cam-footage-of-platte-walmart-officer-involved-shooting/article_cebd9e02-7b89-11ef-aa28-03219ec8d822.html
