LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - The video has been released from the police action shooting last month when an officer was slashed after a suspect led police on a car chase.
The shooting happened after 39-year-old Paul J. Spencer led Officer Jeff Webb on an almost four-mile chase through downtown Lafayette October 19, 2011. Spencer's car careened into an embankment at South 9th Street and Potomac Avenue near the Lafayette Country Club.
Officer Webb pulled up behind Spencer's car and so did Officer Ron Dombkowski, who was with his trainee, Officer Joe Fisher. Spencer then crossed the 22 feet between his car door to Officer Dombkowski and stabbed him in the face with a large knife.
Spencer was shot by police 7 times after he stabbed Officer Dombkowski in the face. Spencer died at the hospital later that day.
