Police arrived at the home of Jeffrey Clair Cave in Kingman, Arizona in order to serve a search warrant. Cave came at the police, holding a gun at his side. He refused orders to drop the gun and the police prepared to taser him when he raised the gun and hit one policeman and a second officer found a bullet had pierced another officer’s clothes but didn’t hit hi. Detective Dennis Gilbert, 57, who was hit is in serious but stable condition.

The video finishes as Cave is gunned down. He died at the scene.
One of the officers who was shot, Detective Dennis Gilbert, 57, was in serious but stable condition in the hospital.
Lieutenant James Brice, 58, had a bullet pass through his clothes but he was not injured as the officers were wearing tactical gear.
