DPD body cam shows shootout with robbery suspect

DPD says they were called to an illegal gaming room on W. Wheatland Road in the early morning hours of Feb. 11. Body camera video shows police arriving at the shopping center and a man in the area telling officers that they were being robbed.

DALLAS - Dallas police released body camera video of a shootout between officers and a robbery suspect in the Red Bird neighborhood.

The suspect, 23-year-old Reginald Curry, is now out of the hospital and behind bars.

DPD says they were called to an illegal gaming room on W. Wheatland Road in the early morning hours of Feb. 11.

Body camera video shows police arriving at the shopping center and a man in the area telling officers that they were being robbed.

VIDEO: Dallas PD shootout with robbery suspect

Dallas police shared body camera and surveillance video of a shootout with a robbery suspect earlier this month. WARNING: This video contains profanity and could be disturbing to some viewers.

[OFFICER: "Are y’all being robbed?"]

"Yeah," the man responded.

[OFFICER: "Are they inside?"]

"Yeah," the man said.

Surveillance video from inside the shopping center shows a suspect waving a gun at people inside.

Officers entered the back door and found people inside the gaming room and the suspects took off running. 

One of the suspects, Curry, turned and fired at the officers as he ran from the police. Another suspect ran from the area.

The gunfire continued as officers took cover.

Officers then gave chase and caught up to Curry as he ran toward a Wendy’s parking lot.

They continue to give commands even though shots have already been fired.

"Show me your hands! Show me your hands!" an officer told Curry.

Video eventually shows officers move in on Curry outside the fast food restaurant.

"Both hands, keep them where we can see them, we will shoot again," an officer said.

Curry was shot in the leg and chest. Officers began medical care as soon as they removed a gun from his pants.

No officers were injured. 

"A bullet went right past my head," an officer is heard saying in one of the body camera videos.

Dallas police say they found three weapons they believe belonged to Curry. Police say one gun was found in the parking lot where the shootout occurred, another was in the gaming room and a Curry had a third in his pocket when he was taken into custody.

He faces three counts of aggravated assault of a public servant.

Online records show Curry was booked into the Dallas County Jail early Wednesday morning.
