At that time, a woman exited the vehicle and ran over to police, saying Alcantara was in the vehicle with her child and that he had a gun.<\/p>\n<p>Alcantara then sped away with the child still in the vehicle, KUTV reported. Police pursued the vehicle more than 30 miles southwest, across state lines where the car eventually stopped near Beaver Dam, Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPut the child down on the ground, we will not pursue you!\u201d an officer yelled to Alcantara once people had been cleared from the area.<\/p>\n<p>Alcantara then grabbed the child and ran into the brush, allegedly pointing a gun at the child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOscar stop! We don\u2019t want to hurt you!\u201d an officer yelled.<\/p>\n<p>As police continued to attempt to communicate with Alcantara, police snipers moved into place. Alcantara hid behind vegetation, with officers saying that he pointed his gun at them at one point.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gun is pointed right at us! Gun pointed at us!\u201d an officer says in the footage, KUTV reported.<\/p>\n<p>About an hour passed after Alcantara first drove away with the baby before a police sniper shot and killed him. Officers ran to Alcantara to see if the baby had been injured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got child, I got child, come here baby,\u201d a police officer said after taking the child, who was unharmed and taken to safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shooting remains under investigation by the Mohave County Attorney\u2019s Office, which confirmed to KUTV on Thursday that it is still reviewing hours of video and interviewing dozens of officers and witnesses who were involved,\u201d KUTV reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently released body cam footage from an incident earlier this year shows a tense standoff between police and an armed suspect who allegedly kidnapped a baby.
