Dallas Police Release Body-Cam of Bathroom Shootout That Injured Teen, Grandmother and Officer

Chief Daniel Comeaux says the footage shows the officers acted to save lives.

Overview

  • Video from Monday night shows an officer forcing open a bathroom door and immediately taking a round to his vest as both officers returned fire.
  • Police identified the teen as Tony Robinson, 18, and the officers as Senior Corporal Caleb McCollum and Officer Tavion Bozeman.
  • McCollum’s return fire struck Robinson and his grandmother, who has been treated and released, while Robinson remains hospitalized in critical condition.
  • Investigators say Robinson used a .40-caliber Glock 27 with an extended magazine and a switch, and the ATF now has the weapon for analysis with potential federal charges under review.
  • The officers are on routine paid leave as the inquiry continues, and 911 audio captured the father reporting his son was threatening to shoot him.
