SEATTLE (AP) – A student at Seattle Pacific University is shown pepper-spraying a gunman then taking him to the ground during an on-campus attack in video released by authorities.
The King County Prosecutor’s Office released the footage Tuesday to satisfy a public records request.
In the video, a man identified by authorities as Aaron Ybarra, then 27, is seen entering a campus building holding a shotgun. He shoots and injures one student before student Jon Meis runs into the lobby, drags him to the ground and takes the shotgun.
Police say Ybarra killed one male student on June 5, 2014, outside the building.
Ybarra has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges and his trial is scheduled for September. His defense attorney Ramona Brandes has not disputed accounts of the shooting and says her client suffers from mental illness.
