Austin Police Release Video From Shooting of Stabbing Suspect Who Killed 3, Including Officer

The City of Austin Police Department has released footage showing the moment a stabbing suspect fired at officers from inside a house early on November 11, before one officer was killed and two victims found dead.

The footage shows officers Fernando Cruz, Nichole Collins, and Jeffrey Bauzon arriving at an address on Bernoulli Drive.

Officers were called to the address at 2:49 am by a victim who said she had been stabbed by the suspect, Ahmed Mohamed Nassar. Before arriving at the address officers met the victim, who had been able to escape, on a nearby road and she was taken to emergency services to be treated for her injuries.

At around 2:57 am officers arrived at a house on Bernoulli Drive where the suspect and two further victims, Eyman Ahmed Elnemrnassar and Riad Mohamed Nassar, were reportedly barricaded.

Officers identified themselves and, after getting no response, kicked down the door at around 3:01 am.

Gunfire can be heard in the footage, which police said was from Nasser shooting at officers.

A SWAT team was called and entered at around 4:11 am. Nasser fired on these officers, hitting Jorge “George” Pastore and another officer.

Pastore was declared dead shortly after. The other officer was injured but expected to recover.

Nasser was declared dead after being hit by officers returning fire.

Eyman Ahmed Elnemrnassar and Riad Mohamed Nassar were declared dead at the scene.

A funeral service for Pastore was held on November 17. Credit: City of Austin Police Department. via Storyful
