SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Police in Iowa released dash cam video Friday of the April 2013 shooting of an officer during a traffic stop.

According to the Sioux City Journal, Jamal Dean exited from the passenger side of the vehicle as the car came to a stop and fired eight shots at Officer Kevin McCormick, hitting him in the forehead above his right eye.

The traffic stop was initiated over a female passenger who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

The shooting set off a manhunt for Dean, who was arrested days later in Texas.

McCormick made a full recovery and later returned to the force.
