Police body camera footage shows a brief, hectic confrontation on the February night Seaside Police Sgt. Jason Goodding and suspect Phillip Max Ferry were shot and killed.

The video, taken from Seaside Police Officer David Davidson’s perspective, was released Thursday by the Clatsop County District Attorney’s Office as part of a completed investigation into the shooting.

The full report backs up the evidence District Attorney Josh Marquis used to determine the shooting death of Ferry was justified.

In the 30-second video, Goodding and Davidson are seen yelling at Ferry, who was wanted on an arrest warrant, to get on the ground. Ferry tells them, “You ain’t going to like it.”

Davidson takes out his Taser and announces “Taser, Taser, Taser’” before striking Ferry. The electricity hits Ferry, knocking him to the ground.

The video turns away as Goodding moves to arrest Ferry, who fires one shot from a .380 semi-automatic pistol concealed in his coat pocket. The shot hit Goodding under this bulletproof vest.

Davidson yells, “shots fired, shots fired,” and shoots several times at Ferry.

“I thought he was going to keep shooting Goodding, Davidson said in an interview with an investigator. “I thought any second I was waiting for bullets to start heading my way also.” In the interview, Davidson said neither officer saw Ferry’s gun since he never took his hands out of his pocket.

Davidson was not sure the Taser would work since Ferry was wearing a thick coat, but when he fell to the ground, the officers thought he was subdued.

Davidson heard the bang and tried to yell “Gun.” He saw Goodding hunch down, start to walk backward and fall down. He tried to keep talking to Goodding, but he was not getting any response.

At the end of the body camera video, an acquaintance of Ferry, Daniel Ginther, is heard saying to Davidson, “Don’t kill him, Uncle Phil.” Ginther was never charged with any crime.

Davidson said he remembers Ginther came and put his hands on his shoulders after the incident and said it wasn’t his fault. Davidson rhetorically asked, “Why is just carrying a gun worth killing someone over?” Ginther said he did not know.

The investigation concluded that Davidson was legally and morally justified in shooting and killing Ferry in the incident outside the Pig ’N Pancake on Broadway Feb. 5.

An autopsy conducted by Oregon State Medical Examiner Karen Gunson determined Goodding’s injuries were immediate and fatal.

Davidson fired several rounds from his service weapon, according to the investigation, striking Ferry in the hand, arm and buttocks. The shots that struck Ferry appeared less serious at the scene.

Ferry was transferred by ambulance to Columbia Memorial Hospital, where emergency doctors worked on him for about half an hour before pronouncing him dead.

Ferry’s toxicology report revealed a high level of methamphetamine, a blood alcohol content of 0.11 and an active ingredient in marijuana.

Goodding was transported to Providence Seaside Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

In any case involving the use of deadly force, regional law enforcement must collaborate in an investigation. Oregon State Police, the lead agency, had investigators attend the autopsies and review and gather evidence.

Ferry, 55, had an extensive criminal history that included 17 felony and 21 misdemeanor convictions since 1983. He had been in and out of the Clatsop County Jail 41 times.

Almost every law enforcement agency in Clatsop County had dealt with Ferry at some point. Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin said even he wrestled with Ferry, and said Ferry should have been in prison.

As a felon, Ferry was not allowed to possess a firearm.

Jamie Lee Jones, 44, a former Nevada resident who was living in Seaside, was indicted in March on federal charges in connection with the gun used in Goodding’s death. Authorities allege that a pistol tied to Jones was used by Ferry.

Goodding is survived by his wife, Amy, and two daughters. A memorial in the fallen officer’s honor at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center in February drew police and firefighters from across the nation.

Hit him under vest, so most likely a direct hit on the aorta, very rapid loss in blood pressure, blood loss and death.

Yeah, why don't you try that? It's all about shot placement, first and foremost. Sometimes a shooter gets "lucky" with one, and just one, shot.

Have you ever seen this?

The bad guy shot at the trooper, twice, with a small caliber derringer. Unfortunately, the second round entered in (I believe) the trooper's armpit, under his vest, and hit his aorta. Pure dumb luck.
