Suspect Shoots Officer Sparking Intense Shootout With Lima Police
* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only)
Lima, Ohio — On October 31st, 2025, Lima Police Department (LPD) officers conducted a traffic stop on St. Johns Ave just north of Second St. There were three people inside the vehicle, including 35-year-old Emerson Jeffrey, who was sitting in the back seat. Because of the number of occupants, several officers responded to assist with the stop, following department safety protocol. As officers approached the car, Officer Bryce Metz came up to the passenger side and began speaking with the occupants. Body camera footage later revealed that Jeffrey tried to get Officer Metz’s attention, saying something along the lines of, “I’m about to do something, because that’s who I am.” He then told Officer Metz to have the two people in the front seats “get out of here.” When Officer Metz asked him what he meant, Jeffrey didn’t respond. Officer Metz then directed another officer to remove Jeffrey from the vehicle. Almost immediately after Officer Metz gave that order, Jeffrey pulled out a handgun and opened fire, striking Officer Metz.
Officer Metz fell to the ground, radioing that he had been hit, while other officers took cover and returned fire toward the suspect. During the exchange, Jeffrey and a front-seat passenger were both struck. Once the gunfire stopped and the threat was contained, officers rushed in to perform life-saving measures on both Officer Metz and Jeffrey until medics arrived. Officer Metz was taken to Mercy Health St. Rita’s in stable condition and later released to recover at home. No other officers required medical attention. Jeffrey was transported first to Lima Memorial Hospital, then airlifted to Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, where he remains under police supervision. A front seat passenger was injured during the incident; however, was treated and released after a short time at Mercy Health St. Rita’s. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is now leading the independent review of the shooting, while the Lima Police Department conducts a separate criminal investigation into Jeffrey’s actions.

Scariest situation to be in. You're shot and your armed coworkers flee the scene. Now it's an injured you vs the shooter and whoever else.
WHO SHOT SOMEONE NOT ME THEN WHO THEN * MY GIRLFRIEND****Broooooooooo tried to get her sent upstairs
At 03:39 you can see he grabs the gun and tried to make the officer to watch forward to trick him. Officer should pay more attention to suspect hands.
I hope the other two officers were fired or moved to bicycle duty, they scampered off and left him to die
From the beginning, you can see the intention of the passenger in the back who is going to pull out a firearm.
Awesome! Officers look like they enjoyed that one.
I love how many rounds were fired into that car! Air everyone out
Bet the road pirates think twice about pulling people over next time.
that 2nd round of mag dump turned that car into Swiss cheese. wow!
This is a huge cluster fuck. Very dangerous to have another cruiser pull alongside the subject car without knowing what was up. That car took more rounds than King Kong, hard to believe no one died.
The biggest tragedy is the Jeffery survived.
Female officers always standing behind everyone. She did ZERO until other male officers showed up…and then just stands there while everybody else is working. Can't wait till they give her a commendation for bravery and promote her to be the Chief
The guy screaming after getting shot in the crossfire then the hail of bullets afterwards was SCARY 😳
Where did the two scarety cats run off to ? Definitely weren’t protecting their injured colleague !!
Keep shooting brother. Don’t stop until everyone is quiet in that car.
What nerve. He started a second volley of shots when backup arrived. This person wanted to die.
It's was the Heavy Metal and the Train 🚂 Whistle for Me ! 👀 Look Out !
Loverboy🏹❤️ is Here
Heyyy I live there!
Love the Mammoth song that starts up at 8:00 minute mark…"The Spell" – Wolf is killing it right now.
The planet earth is not user friendly!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid stupid stupid people!!!!!!!!!
I support The Lima Police. The area where this happened is very dangerous. I live here in Lima but not in this area.
With colleagues like that, who needs bad guys.
