A COP’S shocking body cam footage shows the moment a man pulled out a gun and fired it as two cops were trying to arrest him outside his daughter's school.

Charles Landeros, 30, was shot in the head by policeman Steve Timm at the entrance to Cascade Middle School in Eugene, Oregon.

The footage, taken from Timm’s body cam, initially shows Landeros in the school hallway near to the entrance.

Landeros is said to have been in a custody dispute over a girl who attends the school.

He then sees his daughter walking down the hallway.

At this point Timm and another officer Aaron Johns, lead Landeros to the exit and tell him he is under arrest.

They then push him up against a wall.

Moments later Landeros pulls out a 9mm handgun and fires twice towards Timm, reports KVAL.

As Landeros and Johns grapple with each other on the ground, Timm then fires the shot that killed the father.

Patty Perlow, the Lane County District Attorney, ruled the officers acted properly and their use of force was justified.

She said there was “no clearer circumstance that the use of deadly force is justified than this.”

'LIVES PLACED IN DANGER'

Perlow added the officers acted appropriately in removing Landeros from the school on January 11 and there was probable cause to arrest him for disorderly conduct and trespass.

She said: “Upon making the arrest, their lives, and the lives of others, were placed in danger by Mr Landeros physically resisting that arrest, brandishing a firearm and firing it twice.

“It is unknown why Charles Landeros chose to use deadly force in this circumstance, but he clearly had no regard for the lives of the police officers or the students or staff present, including his child.

“Officer Timm saved the life of Officer Johns, himself and perhaps many others given the number of rounds Charles Landeros had loaded in his weapon."

The District Attorney revealed that Landeros had another magazine attached to a gun belt that he was wearing and also had a backpack with more ammunition of a different calibre.

Perlow also said the struggle and shooting all took place in front of his daughter.

Landeros’ family have hired a civil liberties lawyer, Lauren Regan of the Civil Liberties Defence Centre, and hope to have the shooting independently reviewed.

The family say Landeros was trying to get his daughter’s attention and claim he was “shoved out the door in front of [his] child and pinned to the wall.”
