AUSTIN, Texas — A video released Friday by the Austin Police Department (APD) shows an officer shooting and injuring a man earlier this month.
Officers were called out to the Cliffs at Barton Creek Apartments in southwest Austin on April 6 following reports of a physical disturbance.
Police said when officers knocked on the front door, another officer standing near a sliding glass door by the balcony noticed a man inside approaching the front door with a gun. In the video, an officer is heard screaming that the man has a gun before opening fire.
The man suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting and was released from the hospital the following day. KVUE is not identifying the man because APD said he isn't facing charges at this time.
Meanwhile, the officer who fired his gun has been with APD for seven months and remains on administrative duty while the investigation into the shooting continues.
