nine officers fired their gunsThe man, identified as Landon Eastep, 37, of Nashville, did not possess a gun, but took out a cylindrical object from a pocket, prompting officers from three agencies to shoot at him on Interstate 65, Metropolitan Nashville Police Department spokesperson Don Aaron said in a video introducing the body camera footage.NBC News does not know what preceded the released video, which was edited by police and showed body camera footage from two officers.
“The trooper reported that he stopped and approached Eastep with the intent to give him a ride off the interstate,” Aaron said. “Whatever you’re worried about, we can fix it. Let’s get you some help, though,” the Mount Juliet officer says. “This is not the answer. You and I know it. You don’t want to hurt me. I know you don’t. I damn sure don’t want to hurt you.”Police released more than four minutes of interaction between the officers and Eastep from one officer's body camera. That footage was from Officer James Kidd's body camera, police said.
“I want you to go home today. I don’t want you to end up dead on the side of the interstate. Nobody wants that,” the officer says.
