Body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting has been released by the city of Lansing. The shooting occurred on Wednesday, Jan. 10 at a home on W Saginaw Street, one block west of Durant Park.

According to a YouTube video released by the city, which can be seen in full below, the suspect, Zachary Duling, and a witness were in a car in the driveway when several officers arrived.

After the impact, several shots were fired and the white 2014 Chevy Cruze Duling was driving left the driveway. He was located the following day in Lansing and had sustained a minor injury to his shoulder, according to the police department.
