SCOTTSDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — Newly released body camera and surveillance video show the moments Scottsdale police shot an armed woman inside a police station earlier this year.

Police say Eva Garcia, 23, is facing multiple charges stemming from an April 30 incident at the Scottsdale Police Department’s McKellips Station near McKellips and Miller roads.
WARNING: Graphic video, viewer discretion is advised.
Surveillance video from the lobby appears to show Garcia pointing a gun at a police aide working as a receptionist.
The footage then shows her turning the weapon toward a bystander in the lobby and forcing him to his knees.
An officer and a sergeant went to the front lobby and ordered Garcia to drop the gun. Video shows her aiming the weapon toward officers as it appeared to jam, and she tried again.
“Drop the gun, drop the gun,” the sergeant said before firing four rounds at her.
Stan Kephart, a former police chief in Arizona, went through the video frame by frame as the scene intensified. He said the act of walking into a police station with a weapon doesn’t leave many logical explanations.

“It looks like almost a suicide-by-cop attempt,” Kephart said.
He also believed she had some firearm training.
“The manner in which she cleared the jam indicates that she knew what she was doing with a firearm,” Kephart said.
Garcia was taken to a hospital and treated before being booked on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault on a police officer, aggravated assault on an employee of a law enforcement agency, kidnapping and disorderly conduct.
In a court appearance earlier this month, state prosecutors claimed Garcia’s actions were due to a breakup the previous night.
A judge set Garcia’s bail at a $850,000 cash-only appearance bond, and she will have electronic monitoring if released. Her case has been sealed and remains ongoing.
