47-year-old James Bushey was shot to death by police officers in Texas after he pulled out a bb gun on them. Reports say Mr. Bushey’s blood work showed he had 19 times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood.
Bushey was found at an Applebee’s located in the town of Palestine. He was apprehended in Applebee’s bathroom and was being marched out of the family restaurant when he pulled out of his shorts a life-like handgun.
The regrettable incident was caught by officer body cameras which lasted less than two minutes. The stunning moments show James being escorted out, pulling out the gun in his right hand, then spinning round after reaching into his shorts.
He is pushed away by another officer who immediately draws his weapon and unloads at least eight rounds into Bushey. Reports say cops confronted James Bushey into the Applebee’s restaurant because they believed he had been running after stealing beer from a nearby Walmart.
