Minutes before an RV-turned-street-bomb blew up on a Nashville street, a police officer’s body camera was recording brave NPD officers evacuating the public and calmly preparing for an explosion.
The body camera worn on Christmas Day by Officer Michael Sipos shows approximately 13 minutes of footage, beginning with officers responding to the eerie “evacuate now” message coming from the RV and the suspected bomber, Anthony Quinn Warner.
The body cam footage, released Monday by the Nashville Police Dept., can be viewed here.
Sipos, who s been on the force about 16 months, walked to his cruiser parked around the corner near Church Street and First Avenue. On the horizon, dawn s glow was just beginning to show. Nissan Stadium could be seen across the nearby Cumberland River.
