The video's release comes after the officer was cleared of any wrongdoing this week by a Collin County grand jury.
Following the grand jury's decision on Monday, the Allen Police Department released the officer's body camera footage from the day of the shooting. The video was edited to remove coarse language and blur the faces and bodies of civilians and victims.
The officer then began running toward the stores, tracking the sounds of gunfire as they grew louder and louder. As he continued moving toward the blasts, the officer yelled for people to leave the area and take cover. About three minutes after the shooting began, the officer fired his first shots at the gunman. As the shooting subsided, the officer then continued to cautiously move toward the gunman while calling out to other officers arriving at the scene.Five minutes after the shooting began, police at the scene confirmed they'd taken down the shooter.
"We can see from the video there are bodies he's passing, he knows this person is dangerous and he knows in his mind he's not thinking about himself at all, he's really thinking, 'What can I do to stop this person from hurting people,' and that is an unbelievable human trait that he had and he just exemplified what you need to do," said Miller.
