Euclid officers shoots at an 18-year-old armed suspect at a traffic stop when pointing a gun at them.
The 18-year-old man who was shot by Euclid Police after a traffic stop on Wednesday has been charged; he allegedly pointed his handgun at two officers, causing one officer to fire at him.
Cleveland resident Kevin Idom was a passenger in a stolen Hyundai that was stopped by Euclid Police at about 12:30 p.m. on June 7, according to a news release from police.
Idom exited the car and pointed a loaded handgun at two officers, police said, before one officer fired at him, striking him in the leg.
The video shows Idom jumping from the passenger side of the Hyundai with what looks like a gun in his left hand.
Police tried grabbing the teen. That’s when, police say, Idom pointed the loaded gun at two officers. One officer then fires.
Three shots are heard before Idom falls to the ground outside the apartment building near East 222nd Street and Fox Avenue.
