he Springfield Police Department released city camera footage showing an incident involving an armed suspect pointing a gun at officers Sunday night.
According to Springfield Police Spokesperson Ryan Walsh, police received a ShotSpotter activation report for five rounds of gunshots on High Street around 7:25 p.m. Sunday night. A nearby city camera was able to capture the moments after shots were fired, showing the suspect, 43-year-old Jose Montanez of Springfield, running around the street with a gun in his hand, pointing it at officers. Crime analysts were able to watch in real-time this city camera and assist officers at the incident. Gunshot victim found on Dickinson Street in Springfield on Sunday
As officers arrived, Montanez ran down the street but continued to turn around and point a gun at officers. Walsh said officers were able to detect the gun’s slide was locked in the rear, indicating the gun was out of ammunition unless moved forward. At one point, Montanez puts the gun down but picks it back up. An additional ammunition magazine was also seen on his waistband.
Montanez continued going down the street as more officers arrived. According to Walsh, he ran to the back of High School of Commerce on State Street and allegedly tossed his firearm on school property before being arrested. Officers recovered the firearm, reported stolen out of Ludlow, and the magazine in his waistband. Credit: Springfield Police Department
Montanez has been charged with:
Carrying a Firearm without a License Carrying a Loaded Firearm without a License Discharging a Firearm within 500 feet of a building Assault with a Dangerous Weapon Assault with a Dangerous Weapon Carrying a Dangerous Weapon on School Grounds Possession of Ammunition without a FID Card Receiving Stolen Property Less than $1200 Disturbing the Peace
“The outcome of this call is a huge credit to all of the officers on scene who showed incredible and courageous restraint in this situation, and, due to their keen observation during a fast-moving incident, were able to avoid an officer-involved-shooting. Reloading or moving the slide forward only takes a moment and likely would have had a much different end result,” Springfield Police Commissioner Cheryl Clapprood said. “The brazen actions of this suspect put in jeopardy the lives of our officers, several bystanders and himself and is an example of some of the most unpredictable, volatile and dangerous calls our officers respond to. This situation could have changed at any moment, and we are fortunate it ended as it did.” Five juveniles arrested in Springfield after report of shots fired
Mayor Sarno stated, “After reviewing this most chilling video, these officers showed tremendous restraint in not firing their weapons in this foot chase to subdue this violent offender, who was firing off his gun and pointing at officer’s numerous times. Those officers and residents were put in harm’s way and a very traumatic situation – they could have been injured or God forbid killed. Is this what it is coming to? Our courts are holding no one accountable, especially repeat violent criminal offenders who are allowed to run roughshod on our streets and neighborhoods, while our brave and dedicated men and women in blue risk their lives with arrest after arrest after arrest to keep all our residents and business community safe. Now the big question – will our courts hold him or just ‘pat him on the head’ and release him right back to our streets and in our neighborhoods!”
No injuries were reported from the incident and shell casings were recovered in the area. Springfield Police will continue to investigate the incident.
An unbelievable three minutes. Great production values.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.
Obviously combination of police brutality by driving a squad car up to intimidate him, and white racism of the bystanders who provided him with nonviolent targets for his shooting.
Of the list of charges, “disturbing the peace” might get him a few dollars fine and part of a day in jail until they send him out on the streets again. Privilege.
I originally though that he looked high on drugs. Then, I thought maybe he’s just a stupid, a-hole loser. In the end, it’s probably both.

This is the dude on Extra Strength Tylenol. You ought to see him on meth on a Saturday night downtown.

Allegedly.
The Ministry of Propaganda won’t tell us if he is an illegal alien.

Probably pat him on the head.

They might want to put their cops on a low carb diet, as they seem rather embellished in the middrift.
That’s funny right there.

Sure, let him kill a few innocent bystanders.
Montanez has been charged with:
Carrying a Firearm without a License
Carrying a Loaded Firearm without a License

Assault with a Dangerous Weapon
Assault with a Dangerous Weapon
Carrying a Dangerous Weapon on School Grounds
Possession of Ammunition without a FID Card
Receiving Stolen Property Less than $1200
Disturbing the Peace
Petty charges how about something with some teeth ?
Something is missing lets make a list:
If it was edited from video cameras and released later then it is not “real-time footage”. It is just footage.
No comment from Chief Wiggum?
He’s alive because none of the police officers wanted to be the first to shoot. If one had shot that guy would have been shot about 83 times.
Dumbass cops. I know women who - as his wife - would have made that officer regret not shooting the perp when he turned and aimed at him with the brick wall as the background.
No excuse. That wasn't restraint: It was absolutely reckless. Coulda-woulda made a wida.
But that's not the worst part of it:
By releasing this video, police officers will be murdered by other blacks who will inevitably feel empowered by what this video captured.
I do fear for my boy (a cop), but I also know that without regard to PC policy BS, he'll not endanger himself or others as was demonstrated here, no matter the consequences.
Note to those who didn't read the article: It was a real weapon and the perp was running toward a high school. AND:
