Along with the photos, the timeline shows the shooting happened within seconds.
It said the first gunshot was fired two seconds after officers spotted the gun.
A forensic picture shows how the gun was found after the shooting.
Townsend explained that he’s only allowed to show these still images because the sheriff’s office is still investigating and reviewing the body-camera footage.
“The officers in question are on administrative leave until they’re released to come back to duty. Till that time, we just want them to recover,” Townsend said.
The sheriff’s office will also conduct an internal administrative investigation.
