When officers attempted to speak with him, Reed locked himself in his vehicle and gunfire broke out leading officers to run away from the vehicle. According to the preliminary investigation from the civilian-operated Chicago Office of Police Accountability, Reed fired at the officers first, injuring one of them and shooting at least 11 times at them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The police accountability report said that a \u201creview of video footage and initial reports appears to confirm that Mr. Reed fired first, striking the officer and four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/feds-charge-chicago-man-with-inciting-a-riot-in-city-with-social-media-posts-encouraging-looting\/\" title=\"Feds Charge Chicago Man With \u2018Inciting A Riot\u2019 In City With Social Media Posts Encouraging Looting\">officers returned fire<\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Footage released from the incident shows police officers walking up to Reed in his vehicle and asking him to roll down his windows. Reed does not immediately respond, but eventually, he does and an officer asks him what he is doing. He then locks the door and rolls up the window, ignoring the commands of the officer to unlock and open the door. Then gunfire breaks out and two officers can be seen running from the car for cover as they are shot at. Reed was killed after officers responded to the gunfire.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just in: part of more than 30 videos released this morning by @COPA_Chicago related to the &#8220;exchange of gunfire&#8221; resulting in the death of Dexter Reed last month.
