OAKVILLE, Mo. (First Alert 4) - The St. Louis County Police Department released body camera footage on Monday of an officer-involved shooting in Oakville.

Police responded to a house on Tapestry Drive for a welfare check on Sept. 15 after the person inside, Ryan Woods, 40, fired shots inside and outside the home.

After tactical units and a crisis negotiator responded, Woods continued to fire shots from inside the home at police officers and nearby homes, according to police.
