    According to authorities, officers patrolling the area observed a man they believed to be armed. The initial engagement began from an unmarked cruiser, where officers attempted to speak with Abdullah, the department said. 

    When one officer exited the vehicle to approach on foot, Abdullah began to walk away. As the officer followed, Abdullah shifted a crossbody bag to the front of his body and fled.

    A second officer exited the cruiser to assist, while a third officer, who was stationed in a nearby marked patrol vehicle, responded. As officers closed in on Abdullah, he allegedly pointed a handgun and fired, striking an officer in the foot.

    “Cease fire, cease fire,” an officer is heard yelling in the footage.

    In response, three officers returned fire, striking Abdullah.
