Akron police release bodycam footage of officer-involved shooting involving Calvin Hunt
Akron police on May 31 released body camera footage showing an incident involving a 45-year-old man accused of shooting at others in an apartment building before exchanging gunfire with officers. One of the officers involved with the May 25 shooting has been with the Akron Police Department for two years, while the other joined the force a year ago, according to to the video's narration. Both have been placed on paid administrative leave per departmental procedure. The man in the video, Calvin Hunt, faces three charges of felonious assault, according to Lt. Michael Murphy. Police apprehended Hunt on the afternoon of May 26 — Memorial Day. Another man, a 33-year-old, was placed in custody May 25 for his alleged involvement in firing a weapon in the lobby of the apartment complex at 440 E. Sherman St. near the University of Akron. In an afternoon news conference on May 26, Murphy and Akron Police Chief Brian Harding declined to name the 33-year-old in custody. Murphy said the 33-year-old discharged a firearm, but not at officers; he has not been charged with any crime. One of the suspects' bullets hit a 27-year-old woman in the leg. She sustained a non-life-threatening injury. It hasn't been determined which suspect shot the woman. The video begins with a 911 call to police from the woman who was shot in her leg. The caller told dispatchers that the man who shot her "ran out the front door." The narration states that as the officers arrived on scene around 11:30 p.m. May 25, they heard gunshots nearby, as well as someone in the parking lot yelling, "he's right there!" As officers approached, they encountered a man with a gun who began shooting at them. The officers returned fire as they took cover behind parked vehicles in the parking lot. Once the gunfire ceased, the officers returned to their police cruiser. One of the officers involved sustained a minor leg injury but was not struck by a bullet, Harding said in the May 26 news conference. An updated news release from the police department said the injured officer was treated at the scene. The Office of Professional Standards and Accountability will be conducting a separate internal investigation on the incident. The results will then be provided to Harding and Akron Police Auditor Anthony Finnell. Beacon Journal reporter Tawney Beans can be reached at tbeans@ and on Twitter @TawneyBeans.

Man charged after allegedly exchanging gunfire with police in Prince George, B.C.
The Prince George RCMP detachment is seen in this photo from its Facebook page. (Facebook/PrinceGeorgeRCMP) Mounties in Prince George say a man has been charged after exchanging gunfire with officers earlier this week. Tyler Cavan Suel has been charged with four counts of discharging a firearm with intent and one count each of pointing a firearm, careless use of a firearm, possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle, possession of a weapon and flight from a peace officer while pursued, according to a news release from Prince George RCMP. Police say they attempted to stop Suel during 'proactive patrols' near East Perry Road around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. They allege Suel fired at police from his vehicle before fleeing the area. The 39-year-old was located a short time later, prompting 'a lengthy standoff wherein more gunfire was exchanged from both sides,' according to police. The incident shut down Highway 16 east for several hours before the suspect was taken into custody and transported to hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Online court records indicate Suel's next court appearance is scheduled for June 2 in Williams Lake. Police said he remains in custody. 'We are incredibly proud of the professional, co-ordinated and timely response our police officers had to this threatening and dynamic event,' said Insp. Chris Riddle, operations officer for Prince George RCMP, in the release. 'Even in the face of being shot at, all of those who responded to the call maintained their professionalism and saw the event through to a positive conclusion.' In a separate statement Friday, the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. – which investigates police use-of-force cases in the province – announced that it had completed its review of Suel's arrest. The IIO concluded that the suspect's injuries did not meet the threshold of 'serious harm,' as defined by B.C.'s Police Act, and closed its investigation.
