According to Springfield Police Spokesperson Ryan Walsh, police received a ShotSpotter activation report for five rounds of gunshots on High Street around 7:25 p.m. Sunday night. A nearby city camera was able to capture the moments after shots were fired, and showed 43-year-old Jose Montanez running in the street with a gun in his hand, pointing it at officers.

As police arrived, Montanez ran down the street but continued to turn around and point a gun at them. Walsh said officers were able to see the gun’s slide was locked, indicating the gun was out of ammunition. The video shows Montanez put the gun down at one point but then pick it back up. An additional ammunition magazine was also seen in his waistband.

Montanez continued running down the street as more officers arrived. According to Walsh, he ran to the back of High School of Commerce on State Street and allegedly tossed his gun onto school property before being arrested. Officers recovered the gun, which had been reported stolen, and the magazine in his waistband.
