MINNEAPOLIS — Police body camera footage released Wednesday shows a chaotic scene in which Minneapolis officers rescue a mother and her two young children as Andrew Tekle Sundberg fires a gun repeatedly from inside his apartment last week, but the video fails to show clearly the final moment, about six hours later, that precipitated two SWAT snipers fatally shooting the 20-year-old amid failed negotiations for his surrender.
City officials released four separate videos of the incident totaling 15 minutes, showing the beginning and end of the overnight standoff outside an apartment building in south Minneapolis. The footage, which confirms much of the police version of events over the past week, shows officer Nicholas Kapinos arriving at Sundberg's apartment building at around 11:30 p.m., shortly after neighbor Arabella Foss-Yarbrough called 911 to report bullets had entered her apartment through her kitchen wall.
Kapinos announces himself and knocks on a metal door to the apartment hallway. Gunshots can be heard, and the video shows multiple slugs mushroom into the door from the other side.
