San Francisco police on Tuesday released body camera videos of a shootout in which seven officers fired their weapons at least 65 times at a suspect holed up in an RV on a residential street. The chaotic scene, which occurred in Mission Bay the night of Feb. 17, had officers scrambling for cover and even shooting from their backs to return fire at a homicide suspect who allegedly shot two men, killing one. According to the San Francisco Police Department, Joel Armstrong, a 31-year-old transient, twice shot at police from inside the RV, leading seven officers to return fire a total of 65 times in less than 15 seconds.
