PHOENIX (AP) — Police on Thursday released 26 seconds of the body camera footage of last week’s ambush and barricade situation at a Phoenix home that left five patrol officers shot and wounded and four others injured by shrapnel or ricochets.

The brief but graphic footage showed the initial responding police officer walking toward the front door of a home where a woman reportedly had been shot around 2 a.m. last Friday.

As the 23-year-old officer moved closer, he asks the shirtless man in the door who else is in the house.

The officer is heard running frantically from the scene saying “”99! 999! I’ve been shot! 999!” as more gunshots ring out.

Investigators believe the shooter was 36-year-old Morris Richard Jones III and his ex-girlfriend — 29-year-old Shatifa Lobley of Phoenix — was the woman who was shot inside the home in a domestic dispute.

Police said Lobley later died after being taken to a hospital.

The rest of the body-cam footage may be released by next Friday, according to police.

After the initial incident, Lobley’s brother came out the house with a baby and put the child on the porch in a carrier, then walked to police.

But when officers moved in to get the 1-month-old girl, police said Jones opened fire again.

Jones was later found dead in the home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The child of Jones and Lobley was unharmed.

All nine of the police officers injured have been released from the hospital.
