\"WATCH:
In the body cam video, the suspect is clearly holding what looks like a real gun.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A police officer with the Washington, D.C., Metro Police Department shot and killed a man earlier this month who was wielding what was later determined to be an air-powered rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were called to an apartment complex on August 31 to investigate a report of an individual holding a long gun on a balcony and pointing it towards the street. Footage released by the department shows the moments the man, identified as George D. Watson, emerges from his apartment and Sgt. Jonathan Nelson fires three shots, killing him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMPD recognizes the sanctity of human life, and that any loss of life is a tragic outcome for a family and community,\u201d the department states in the commentary accompanying the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the video, officers can be seen knocking on Watson\u2019s door and attempting to communicate with him. One officer holds a riot shield while another holds an AR-pattern rifle. Several other officers stand on the stairway outside the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelson asks Watson if he needs help and if he can open the door, but Watson refuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I cannot open the door,\u201d he says. \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk to y\u2019all. Get away from my door! Back up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watson opens the door and appears to be asking the officers about someone else in the apartment complex. Much of what he says is redacted, but he repeats, \u201cWhere that bitch in the pink at?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelson remains calm and tries to ask Watson what\u2019s happening, but he refuses to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo suck a dick,\u201d he says as he slams the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDefinitely a mental health consumer,\u201d Nelson says into the radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moments later, Watson reopens the door holding an air-powered rifle designed to look like an AR-pattern firearm. Watson does not shoulder the rifle, and he appears to point it between the two officers standing on either side of the door. The department said initially that Watson had pointed the rifle at the officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelson draws his service weapon and fires three shots at Watson, and he falls to the ground. The officers administered first aid after securing the apartment, and Watson was brought to a local hospital but \u201call life-saving efforts failed,\u201d according to the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident is pending review by the United States Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Columbia (USAO). When the USAO completes their review, the case will be investigated by MPD\u2019s Internal Affairs Bureau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
