This video contains graphic violence, viewer discretion is advised. What started as a 911 call from a man trying to help his friend ended with a Salt Lake City police officer fatally shooting 47-year-old Jose Hernandez, according to a recording of the phone call and two body camera videos released Monday. In the footage, Hernandez starts walking away from the officers, ignoring commands to drop the rock. After one officer swaps his firearm for a stun gun, Hernandez motions like he is going to throw the rock and then starts to run. Hernandez runs across 300 West to the northwest corner of the intersection at 2100 South where he stops, turns and throws the rock at the closest pursuing officer. That officer fired at Hernandez, who fell to the ground and groaned. The videos then stop. Hernandez later died at a hospital. The officer who fired his gun was injured and treated at a hospital, police said.
