BUCKEYE, Ariz. (AP) - A review board of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office has cleared two Buckeye police officers in a shooting case last year.
Buckeye police on Thursday released body camera footage of the June 25 shootout with a heavily armed man who eventually killed himself.
The footage had been withheld until the county attorney’s office completed its independent review of the shooting.
Two police officers went to a Buckeye home after family members said 30-year-old William Ferguson had fatally shot his wife.
Police say Ferguson began shooting at the officers with an assault rifle with bullets breaking a window of the patrol vehicle.
Authorities say Ferguson suffered a shoulder wound in the shootout and took his own life.
Police entered the home and found 36-year-old Breanne Ferguson dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
