A Brentwood officer shot Joshua Smith, as well as a woman Smith was allegedly holding hostage, after Smith fired a pistol at officers, police said.
Brentwood police have released a video showing a city police officer shooting at a man who’d already fired a pistol at two other officers, and authorities now acknowledge that both the suspect and the woman he was holding hostage were struck by the officer’s gunfire.
The bullet fired by Sares hit a staircase handrail and broke up into smaller pieces, which struck both Smith and the woman. Afterward, the two fell to the ground, causing Smith to drop the gun. Officer then rushed in to arrest him. The video’s release marks the first time police have specifically acknowledged the woman was struck by an officer’s bullet.
