Nashville police released body camera footage on Monday from an officer who responded to the bombing in the city on Christmas Day.
The department published a 12-minute video to YouTube that was taken from officer Michael Sipos’s body camera on the day of the blast, which authorities said injured three people and damaged dozens of buildings. The video shows officers warning residents to leave the area for several minutes before an explosion can be heard around the 3:52 mark of the video.
“Officer Michael Sipos, 1 of the officers who responded to 2nd Ave N Christmas Day in the minutes prior to the explosion, had been issued a body camera just days earlier,” the Nashville Police Department posted to Twitter. “Here is what he saw & heard.”
In the video, Sipos and other officers are seen rushing toward the site of the explosion, which authorities said came from an RV that was blaring out a loud warning that it was about to explode and played the 1964 hit “Downtown” by Petula Clark.
Authorities have identified 63-year-old Anthony Warner as the bombing suspect who killed himself in the explosion after investigators matched human remains found on the scene to Warner’s DNA. Investigators are still looking for a motive.
