WATCH: Toledo Police Officers Rush Toward Gunfire on July Fourth

One officer gives the order: “Get out.” With that, two Toledo cops leave the safety of their patrol car and begin weaving through a dark landscape that has erupted in chaos. Around them, people run and scream, fleeing a Fourth of July block party that has turned into a bloody gunfight.

The footage was captured on the body cameras of the first two police officers on the scene. The just-released video shows the pair charging into the chaos and toward the gunshots.

At least 80 rounds were fired by multiple shooters, leaving 12 people shot, Toledo, Ohio, Police Chief George Kral said. One 17-year-old was killed in the gunfire and several other teenagers were shot. 

Watch how these officers use teamwork and deliberate movement toward danger in a chaotic environment.

As the video begins, the officers arrive in their car, and as soon as one opens the door, they immediately hear loud cracks. Whether they are Fourth of July fireworks or gunshots is unclear. But within seconds, louder cracks are heard — more distinctive of gunshots.

As one gives the order, they move out together and seek cover behind cars, heading toward gunshots, which grow louder as the officers get closer. As they get closer to the gunshots, they tell civilians not to flee but instead to “find cover!” and “stay down.”

The two seek cover behind a trailer as one makes a radio call to assess the situation: “We got multiple shooters, everywhere.”

In total, 70 Toledo police officers, seven Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, and seven Lewis County sheriff’s deputies responded to the mass shooting.

As the first two officers on scene continue to search, they find a couple hiding behind a car and yell at them to stay “behind the tire” — advice that would keep the couple behind the car’s wheels and brake assembly, which experts view as one of the more “bulletproof” sections of a car.

Despite the severity of the violence involved at the block party and the hundreds who were present, Kral said no one was coming forward with information about who was responsible. He expressed frustration toward the community’s lack of cooperation with the investigation. 

“We should be angry, we need to come together as a community,” Kral said. “We’ve seen this type of violence in this country all year long and now it’s hit home. Come forward — someone there knows who was shooting these guns.”
