A Milwaukee man was filmed firing up a police precinct two days after his friend died there while in custody after taking drugs during a traffic stop.
Milwaukee police released the footage on Friday, which shows Darreon Parker-Bell 23, shoot-up the District 5 station's lobby on February 25. He did so two days after his friend Keishon D. Thomas, 20, died there while in custody.
Thomas is said to have stopped breathing while alone in his cell, after ingesting an unidentified white substance during a traffic stop that got him arrested.
Parker-Bell had reportedly reached a 'breaking point' following his friend's death, his girlfriend later told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Thomas died on February 23 in a holding cell at the same police station after spending roughly 16 hours in custody following a traffic stop where it's believed he ingested narcotics.
Police say Thomas refused to go to the hospital, so he was placed in a holding cell by himself where he was later found unresponsive.
Two days later, Parker-Bell walked into the police station and asked an officer about his friend's death investigation. He became angry after he was told that information could not be shared because it formed part of an ongoing investigation.
Parker-Bell is then seen on video pulling a gun from his waistband and firing a shot toward the floor, sending people in the lobby scrambling for cover as they scream with fright.
The officer drops behind the counter but when he rises to his feet, Parker-Bell then fires his gun at the officer, shattering the glass partition.
Parker-Bell then fires a third shot across the counter and officers fire back at Parker-Bell, who then flees the police station.

Some kind of bravado to walk into the police station and do that. Wait until they make a coordinated effort on one. Oh wow...
Yup, guessed correctly.
Will Biden’s new gun regulations prevent this horrific gun crime?
From the article, it sounds like suicide by cop at some point. Was the dead guy a family member of the shooter?
You just *knew* it was going to be either a Darreon or a Keishon right away, didn’t you?
Those damn ghost guns again! Oh wait
2 wastes of space and oxygen.
With any luck, they’ll both be in the same place and condition soon. Room temperature or quite a bit hotter, more likely.
cromagnon boy.
Friend. First sentence.
China Virus sneeze screen instead of security glass/plastic?
Yup, guessed correctly.”
Milwaukee man?
Another floyd type death.
