Bodycam Footage Shows Shootout Between Cops, Robbery Suspect. The incident in Red Bird, in the 2900 block of Wheatland Road, was the first time that Dallas officers have opened fire on a suspect in 2024. The department released bodycam footage on Tuesday, which shows police responding to a burglary in progress at an illegal game room. 23-year-old Reginald Curry was spotted on camera pointing a gun at the people inside. Curry flees out of the front door and fires behind him at officers in pursuit, who shoot back. The suspect got hit in the leg and the side, and was taken to the hospital in custody.
