SIOUX CITY | Sioux City police on Friday released dashboard camera footage of the shooting of Officer Kevin McCormick in April 2013. 

 

McCormick was shot in the head during a traffic stop in the 1300 block of West Fourth Street.

 

Jamal Dean was arrested in Riviera, Texas, days later.

 

The footage was released after Dean and his brother were on trial for a separate drug-related case.

 

The video shows McCormick pulling a silver sedan over in an alley. Dean gets out of the passenger side an fires eight shots at the cruiser.

 

McCormick puts the cruiser in reverse and says "shots fired, shots fired" into police radio.

 

The shooting -- the first involving Sioux City police since 1982 – touched off an intense multi-agency manhunt that has extended far beyond Sioux City. 

 

McCormick was shot in the forehead, above the right eye. He later returned to the force. 

 

I hope he didn't get disciplined for cursing over the radio, that'd be my response if I got shot in the head.

Wow. He was incredibly lucky to survive. It's rare that people get shot in the head and live to tell the tale! 

Wow that's scary, I would've pissed my pants. Twice.

It was most likely a .22, so the bullet slowed down a lot after going through the window. I don't know how he stayed that calm though, I would've freaked the f*** out.

Incredibly professional response from the officer even after having been shot. If I was shot during a traffic stop I would most likely end up screaming bloody mary over the radio, completely unable to get a description of the suspect or where I was.

My gosh, glad I'm not a cop. This video is one of the reasons I have much respect for the police.

Thank god 22s just suck ass...Very lucky that is he alive and was so calm during that series of events.

Wow.Not everyone can say they continued to look for the suspect with a bullet in their head."I cant believe i`m still talking to you guys right now."

Wow, what a trooper, took a round to the head and still continued strong looking for the suspect. +1 to that officer!

Hopefully he makes it through, what a great guy. A shame when any officer is injured in the line of duty.

Not to make a joke,

but I thought that this topic was someone actually saying they were shot. So I'm thinking "who the f*** is going to shoot themselves then the first thing they do is post for help on lcpdfr.com..?"

Me too!^ airsoft, me too

Hopefully he makes it through

This was from over a year ago. He recovered and went back to work

jesus im telling you people are crazy. thank goodness he survived. just goes to show any call can turn deadly at any time.

Wouldn't surprise me to be honest, based on the topics that have been posted before.

Thanks for the heads up black Jesus. (makes me chuckle saying that lol)
