New video captured the horrifying moment a Florida police officer’s body camera stopped a bullet from piercing his chest while conducting a routine investigation last month.
The incident unfolded when Deputy Jose Rivera and a deputy trainee responded to a call for an assault and battery investigation at a home in Volusia County March 1, started firing at the officers, according to authorities.
Rivera was subsequently struck in the leg and shoulder "after a round ricocheted off of his chest-mounted body-worn camera," the department said.
Additional video shows Polanco on the ground with his hands behind his back as police take him into custody.
He was later charged with attempted murder, according to police.
While in custody, Polanco allegedly told police he had a "horrible day" before the shooting and was previously involved in a confrontation with an unidentified woman, Sheriff Mike Chitwood said in a news conference.
"When the deputies came up to the house, [Polanco] had every intention to shoot them," Chitwood said, adding a direct quote from the suspect, "‘If I didn't run out of ammunition, I would have killed them all.’"
Polanco allegedly told officers he was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of the alleged incident.
