Police release video of shooting that left stabbing suspect dead in Montgomery County
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — New bodycam video shows the moment a police officer in Montgomery County shot and killed a man after reports he had, without provocation, stabbed four people at random last July.
The Maryland Office of the Attorney General released video from a body-worn camera of an officer shooting and killing a 19-year-old man who reportedly stabbed multiple people seemingly at random, including two women, who were sitting at a yard sale nearby.
The stabbings started after the suspect, later identified as Franklin Castro Ordonez, reportedly attacked a woman at the Unique thrift store on Veirs Mill Road just after 10:30 a.m. on July 22. He then ran away, later attacking two women who were sitting at a yard sale in the area.
The three women were taken to area hospitals for help, one in critical condition. In a press conference Saturday, Police Chief Darren Francke reported that hospital staff believe all three women will survive. A fourth person, only identified as a man, was also injured but did not require hospital treatment.
On Thursday, police released videos recorded by one officer’s dash camera and another from a body camera worn by the officer who killed Ordonez.
