OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Police arrived for a report of a man with a gun on Gainesville Street. Police arrived, saw a man who fit the description and shot and killed him. The man fired back and injured the officer who has a leg injury and is expected to recover. He is not seen shooting at all in the enclosed BWC video, heavily redacted, that was released by police. The bodycam video shows that very likely the injured officer was shot by another officer, not Porter who is only seen running away.
