Officers attempted to get the man to comply for around four minutes. Yates continued to argue with the officers, the video shows. The man then reached behind his back.

Two officers fired five times, hitting the suspect twice from around 30-to-40 feet away. The officers immediately began to render aid and called an ambulance.

The firearm recovered was a Glock 17 with one round in the chamber. The magazine in the firearm had a capacity of 17 rounds with 16 in it, Clark said. Both the magazine size and the gun are prohibited in Denver.

Yates was taken to a local hospital and immediately taken into surgery, Clark said. He survived and has since been released from the hospital.
