The backstory:

The shooting happened shortly after 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday after officers were called to the 4200 block of Bonita Drive in the River Oaks neighborhood because of a domestic disturbance. 

A doorbell camera on a neighbor's home captured the shocking video of what happened. FOX 4 stopped the video before the moment officers fired shots.

According to department officials, officers ordered the suspect to drop the weapon. When the man ignored commands and began advancing toward them, an officer opened fire, striking him.

Officers provided immediate medical aid until paramedics arrived. The suspect was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition. No officers or bystanders were injured during the encounter.
