» Washington fired two shots, according to witness accounts. The officers returned fire; law enforcement sources have said they fired more than 30 rounds.

» Washington headed toward the east exit. Dion, who was still in the east vestibule, was shot once.

» Washington was shot multiple times. Police have not said where he was hit. He collapsed in the parking lot, where he was handcuffed.

» None of the officers was hurt. Lee also was unharmed; he had crouched down inside the restaurant and recorded the incident with his camera.

After the shots, Galloway said she saw Lee rush over to Dion and tell him, “Stay with me, stay with me. We need an ambulance.”

Schmaderer said that he had seen the footage and that it was evidence in the investigation.

“The (members of the TV show crew) have a close relationship with the officers that they ride with each and every day,” the chief said. “Just as officers face the dangers of policing with honor, courage and integrity, so do the production crew of ‘Cops.’ ”

Schmaderer said any suggestion that officers were showing off for the cameras was “absolutely ridiculous.”
