May 5, 2023. The first incident happened around 11 p.m., when suddenly three to four shots were fired. Bodycam footage shows an officer run toward the sound of the gunfire before spotting a man firing a gun in a southeast direction.

Officers immediately begin to command the man to "Put it down!" before the man, later identified as a 22-year-old from Greenfield, runs away while holding the gun. Seconds later, video appears to show that while the man's back was facing the officers, an officer fired off a single shot striking the man in the lower abdomen.

MPD's spokesperson declined to clarify when asked if officers shot the man while his back was turned, saying the incident is still under review. Video does show officers render aid to the man on his lower back.

The man survived the shooting and Waldner said he was exchanging gunfire with people inside a vehicle nearby before officers arrived. Officers found evidence and witness statements supporting that account.

The second incident begins seconds after the first just about a block away. Audio from the bodycam picks up the sound of gunfire from the first incident.

An officer's bodycam footage shows a teen, later identified as a 17-year-old boy, in a red hoodie firing off a series of rounds from a fully automatic handgun into the sky before running away. A moment later, an officer approaches the teen and says "Stop!" repeatedly. At this time, the teen is not firing off shots but running away while holding the gun.

Suddenly, video appears to show the officer fire off at least 15 rounds toward the teen, who falls to the ground. Waldner said the teen "continued to reach over towards his gun next to him," while on the ground. However, in the video provided by MPD, the officer's extended arms are obstructing the view of the camera. The officer is repeatedly saying "Don't reach!" to the teen. The teen's gun is then seen on the ground next to him, which the officer goes and retrieves.

The teen survived the shooting and was charged by the District Attorney's Office with second-degree reckless endangering safety, use of dangerous of weapon, possession of machine gun, and possession of a gun by person under 18, Waldner said.
