Flagstaff Officer Tyler Stewart was shot five times Dec. 27 as he interviewed Robert Smith, 28, - Chilling body cam video captures final moments before rookie Arizona cop is gunned down by suspect


Flagstaff Officer Tyler Stewart was shot five times Dec. 27 as he interviewed Robert Smith, 28, about a domestic altercation between the man and his girlfriend. The footage shows the two chatting along before Smith pulls out a revolver as 24-year-old Stewart goes to pat down the suspect for possible weapons.


Chilling police body camera video shows the calm final moments before a domestic violence suspect pulled a gun and shot a rookie Arizona cop five times, then turned the revolver on himself.

Flagstaff Officer Tyler Stewart, 24, had been on the force less than a year when he was gunned down Dec. 27 by 28-year-old Robert Smith.

The 14-minute video of the deadly encounter shows how innocuously it began before Smith suddenly pulled the .22-caliber revolver and fired off six shots, four of which hit Stewart in the head.
