The fatal shooting of a man who brutally attacked a Salt Lake City cop with his own police baton has been ruled justified by Salt Lake County District Attorney. Watch the graphic body cam footage of the incident above.

According to NBC affiliate KSL, it all began when Officer Gregory Lovell responded to a call on Sept. 28 about a man trespassing in a salon and groping a woman. The video starts with Lovell approaching the salon. He then sees the suspect—39-year-old Michael Bruce Peterson—walking across the parking lot. Lovell repeatedly orders Peterson to stop walking, but Peterson ignores him. As Lovell is following from a distance, he radios for backup, saying, “He’s not going to stop for me.”

The video shows Peterson getting into an unlocked Jeep that isn’t his. That’s when Lovell says “Don’t!” and orders him out of the vehicle while Peterson ignores him and curses at him repeatedly. At that point, Lovell uses a Taser on Peterson through the open window of the car. That’s when Peterson gets out of the Jeep and lunges at Lovell.
