Bodycam footage shows Texas officer get shot on highway and saved by civilian

Body camera footage showing the moments an officer was shot and a suspect was killed on the Southwest Freeway in November was released by the Houston Police Department Friday. The nearly 30 minutes of footage show how multiple innocent bystanders were caught in the middle of a dramatic shootout on the freeway between HPD officers and a suspect accused of multiple burglaries. The footage even shows HPD officer J. Gibson being dragged to safety by another officer and a civilian after being shot in the leg. That civilian was John Lally. “You're okay. You're okay bro. Breathe,“ Lally could be heard saying on video. Lally captured the shooting on his cellphone the day it happened, but he said seeing the video released by HPD provided a different perspective of the day he jumped into action. “To see it first hand is like being in a video game or being in a movie, something that you see in a movie,“ Lally said after watching the HPD body camera video.
