Police released a dash cam video of a gunman firing at officers in South Seattle on New Year’s Eve.

Officers were responding, for a second time that night, to a domestic violence call at a home in the 4200 block of S. Eddy Street.

The victim told 911 dispatchers the suspect had kicked a door and was making threats.

The video begins when officers are interviewing the suspect as he sat on the hood of a patrol car parked on Eddy Street.

Two cars can be seen pulling up near the patrol car where officers took cover and shielded the domestic violence suspect after hearing gunfire.

No one was injured in the incident. The shooting suspects remain at large. The officers involved are on paid leave, which is standard procedure.
