Body camera footage released by the Minneapolis Police Department on Thursday showed that a man shot dead during an attempted traffic stop on the city’s south side fired at police officers first.

Police said 23-year-old Dolal Idd died in an exchange of gunfire started by himself on Wednesday night outside a Holiday gas station. Police said the officers pulled Idd’s car over for a “felony stop,” implying that the man was suspected of a felony-level crime.
