Overview
- The hour-long compilation shows officers establishing a perimeter before Officer Nicholas Cook yells that Robert Adams has a gun and multiple officers open fire.
- Investigators report recovering two firearms from inside the home, and the released edit does not include video of the officers’ entry or a clear view of the target at the moment of gunfire.
- Six Baltimore County officers — Andrew Meyer, Malik McLaughlin, Austin Kiss, Nicholas Cook, Mason Rice and Luke Eubert — discharged their weapons and were placed on administrative leave.
- Officers entered the house roughly two hours after the shooting and found the 55-year-old on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
- Officials say it remains unclear whether the fatal wounds came from police gunfire or a personal weapon, as neighbors describe Adams’ mental illness and say he did not shoot at officers.
