The Austin Police Department released body camera footage showing an exchange of gunfire with a suspect who was allegedly displaying a gun in a "threatening manner" and fired shots at officers on Oct. 23. 

The suspect, 42-year-old Emeka Onyeabo Williams, was struck multiple times as officers returned fire and is in stable condition. He's facing charges of attempted capital murder, deadly conduct, and recklessly discharging a firearm. 

The incident began around 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 23 when police received a 911 call about a man displaying a gun at an apartment complex in North Austin. 

Officers responded to the area and quickly located Williams inside the front patio of a nearby restaurant.

Attempts were made to evacuate the restaurant as an officer repeatedly instructed Williams over a PA system to come outside with his hands up. 

Around 10:19 p.m., Williams allegedly started firing shots while still inside the patio, prompting five officers to return fire. 

Body camera footage released on Friday shows Williams on the patio with a handgun in front of him after he was struck multiple times by gunfire. 

Williams, who has previous arrests for assault causing bodily injury and misdemeanor marijuana possession, was transported to a local hospital and is in stable condition. No one else was wounded during the shooting. 

He's currently being held on a combined $350,000 bond, according to jail records. 

All five officers who discharged their firearms were placed on administrative duty pending an investigation. 

Actor Chris Pratt made an endorsement on Sunday in a local race that takes place during this week’s midterm elections.

Pratt, 43, endorsed candidate Rick Caruso (D), a former Republican, in his race against communist sympathizer Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA).

“I’ve lived in LA for over 20 years. It’s been great to me,” Pratt wrote on Instagram. “In that time I’ve seen what many residents here have seen, the city’s gradual decline into pain and utter disarray. If you live here, you know exactly what I’m talking about.”

“I don’t normally support political candidates. But in this election, there’s too much to lose,” Pratt continued. “If you’re an LA voter, I urge you to vote for @rickcarusola. He’s a builder. He knows how to get s**t done. He’s the guy for our city. Rick Caruso for LA Mayor.”

Bass is considered the front runner in the race but the polls have tightened significantly in recent days as Caruso has seen a boost in support from Latinos, The Los Angeles Times reported.

“If you are a Karen Bass person, you are anxious the race has gotten so close, but also grateful that you’re standing and still ahead after Caruso has thrown his biggest punches,” said Paul Mitchell, a political data expert, told the newspaper. “If you’re a Caruso person, you are still hopeful because you have this one last weapon in your back pocket: a $13-million field campaign program that is unprecedented.”

Elon Musk endorsed Caruso over the summer, saying that residents of the city were lucky to have him as a candidate.

“Los Angeles is fortunate to have someone like Rick Caruso running for mayor. He’s awesome,” Musk tweeted. “My political leanings are moderate, so neither fully Republican nor Democrat, which I am confident is the case for most Americans. Executive competence is super underrated in politics — we should care about that a lot more!”
