MOSES LAKE, Wash. — The Grant County Sheriff’s Office released body camera video from a shoot-out where an officer was struck last week.
The shooting took place on May 4 at the Motel 6 at 2822 Driggs Drive when officers responded to a fight call. Body camera footage shows the suspect, 37-year-old Zachary Allen Stockton, locking himself in a room.
The footage shows Sergeant Munro attempting to negotiate with the suspect, pleading with him not to shoot.
“Please come out unarmed, sir. I give you my word. I have a wife and three kids, man. It’s the last thing I want to do,” Sargent Monroe said.
Almost immediately after, Stockton exited the motel room with two guns, open firing at police.
Video shows multiple rounds of shots were fired from Stockton until police stuck him.
GCSO said this remains an active investigation. Detectives continue to gather evidence through surveillance video.
According to GCSO, an update will be available on May 17.
The body camera video can be viewed on the GCSO Facebook. The video is hard to watch and could be disturbing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised.
