Body cam video shows moment suspect pulls gun on rookie officer

Newly released footage from a police body camera shows how a calm encounter between an Arizona officer and a domestic violence suspect quickly and unexpectedly turned deadly for the rookie cop last month.

The nearly 14-minute video from Officer Tyler Stewart's department-issued recording device starts with Stewart in his patrol vehicle and ends with a gun pointed at him. The footage released Tuesday does not show the actual shooting.

Stewart and Robert Smith chat calmly outside Smith's Flagstaff home December 27 for about three minutes. Smith had his hands in his pockets most of the time.
