Original video:
Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States
The Cheyenne Police Department released body camera footage Thursday from a March 8 officer-involved shooting between three officers and a man who reportedly held his wife hostage.
The footage is graphic and depicts a minutes-long standoff between an armed and anguished man, reported to be 47-year-old Patrick Flores, and Cheyenne police officers, followed by them shooting the man.
In the video, the female hostage calls Flores “Jesse,” after which the officer trying to negotiate with him also calls him Jesse.
CPD spokeswoman Alexandra Farkas said the department isn't sure why the name “Jesse” was used.
“These situations are rapidly evolving — officers are given preliminary information when they arrive on scene and work with what they have,” she wrote in a Wednesday email to Cowboy State Daily.
A written timeline preceding the video says officers were dispatched to the 5200 block of Fishing Bridge, near the Cheyenne Workforce Center, at 6:18 the evening of March 8, in response to a report of a domestic disturbance.
Dispatch had told officers the suspect's wife was screaming and the suspect was shooting a firearm, says the video caption.
If you can't be bothered to watch the entire video, it's because his wife cheated on him.
