Bodycam: Raleigh Cops Take Out Active Shooter Near Middle School

Bodycam footage shows North Carolina police engaging in a deadly shootout with an active shooter on March 27. The Raleigh Police Department said Jorge Luis Vega-Lesama was allegedly shooting a gun near Ligon Magnet Middle School when bystanders called 911. When officers arrived, Vega-Lesama allegedly opened fire. “Shots fired, shots fired, suspect is shooting,” an officer can be heard saying before returning fire and taking out the suspect. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie has the details.

"Vega-Lesama was later pronounced dead".... I love a happy ending.

no one can say the police don't have a hard job, takes real bravery to confront such dangerous individuals & do what's necessary to eliminate the threat.

I just returned from a memorial for our department’s 18 fallen officers where I was honored to deliver remarks. We ask our cops to run into the gunfire and they go w/o hesitation. Over the course of my 30 yrs of service I experienced the loss of seven friends.

The whole vid shows the officer with the rifle actually gets a headshot on the criminal

These cops are heroes, they risk their lives every day.

great job law enforcement... take out the bad guys.

[nicktaylor]

Videos like this remind me of how important it is to have police.

[freddyahavi]

Unless the admin leave is part of their policy I don’t see a problem with them taking out a dangerous person. I hope this is just to let them cool off and seek mental help if needed

[SoulScooper]

Wow why even investigate, that guy was asking to die

[shinebox]

THANK U OFFICERS FOR KEEPING US SAFE BY RISKING YOUR LIVES

[Mister_Holdsworth]

I hope they're on leave for their own mental health sakes and not just because they shot somebody who was shooting at them and the public. This one shouldn't need an inquiry on whether police had a right to shoot or not.

Those officers took out the garbage. Thank you.

[dcsbeats]

I'm about to take the test to be a cop, looking forward to everything but sobriety and bullets flying, but the police need people to step up. So that's that

[DRAGNET-pnvf]

THANK GOD FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. AS A NAVY VETERAN I BACK THE BLUE.🙏🇺🇸✌️👍🏻

[ColoradosBackyard]

Still amazes me some people wanted to stop funding and abolish the police. Thank you officers for doing your job!

[Litvagopnik]

“Investigation into the shooting” WHAT IS THERE TO INVESTIGATE? LMAO.

[patmcbride]

Ground temperature challenge achieved.

[MikeJones-rkun]

When will they start going after these guys with drones instead of endangering cops?

[stonebone]

Dont you just love stories with a happy ending?

[kebo]

Great job by law enforcement. That's one less criminal to threaten anyone else.
