SYKESVILLE, Md. — The Attorney General's Office released body cam footage of the June 3rd deadly police-involved shooting of 52-year-old Jack Cimino Jr.
Police responded to the 1200 block of Liberty Road in Sykesville for reports of a suicidal man.
Cimino reportedly called the crisis hotline, threatening to shoot himself while he was under the influence of some type of substance. This led to a more than 8-hour standoff with police.

In one of the body cam videos, police can be heard telling Cimino to put a gun down. Cimino tells police, "I am getting an AR motherf***ing out here, and I got 50 f****ing clips, and they're all loaded. You better bring more than that."
According to investigators, Cimino approached the house's front door on the morning of June 4 and pointed a dark object at the troopers. One trooper then opened fire, striking Cimino.
He was taken to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The Attorney General's Office says it delayed releasing the video footage to allow investigators additional time to review all video evidence and conduct witness interviews.
The Maryland Attorney General's Office Independent Investigations Division is reviewing the incident.
