A King County judge on Thursday ordered the release of a dashboard-camera video from the patrol car of Seattle police Officer Ian Birk, recorded at the time he fatally shot woodcarver John T. Williams.
Williams and Birk can be seen on the video moments before the shooting. But the shooting occurred off camera because of the position of Birk’s patrol car, although audio of the confrontation was recorded.
King County District Judge Arthur Chapman, who has been assigned to oversee an inquest into the shooting, released the previously confidential video during a pre-inquest hearing.
