Sparks, Nevada  Washoe County Sheriff’s Office detectives booked the suspect in the incident, Adam Barton, 30, of Sparks, with five felony counts for the actions which took place in the moments immediately before the shooting. On August 4, 2021, Sparks Police officers responded to Victorian Avenue near the RTC Centennial Plaza shortly before 11:00 p.m. on reports of an Assault with a Deadly Weapon using a firearm in progress. Through interviews, intelligence gathering, and the review of video evidence detectives have determined Barton approached a man and his ten-year-old daughter who were at the transit center, and who were unknown to Barton. Barton pressed the gun into the man’s side while grabbing and holding him.
At some point, the men separated from one another, and the victims began to walk away. Barton is seen on video approaching the father and daughter two more times, with the daughter ducking and taking cover behind a metal box at RTC Centennial Plaza. Sparks Police officers responded within minutes of the initial call for service and located Barton in the crosswalk of Victorian Avenue and Victorian Plaza Circle. Officers began repeated communications with Barton in attempts to get Barton to show his hands. Officers observed he had a handgun in his hand, and they continued verbal commands as Barton moved away from them towards civilians who were in the area for a special event.
Moments later the officer involved shooting occurred. Barton underwent surgery the next day. He was booked into the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office on August 13, 2021, for one felony count of violating probation. On August 16th WCSO detectives booked Barton for Battery with a Deadly Weapon by a Prisoner, Probationer, or Parolee; Assault with a Deadly Weapon; Resisting a Public Officer with use of a Firearm; Owning or Possession of a Gun by a Prohibited Person; and Carrying a Concealed Explosive, Pneumatic Gun, Firearm, or Dangerous Weapon without a Permit.

It's always freaky when these videos hit so close to home!
Bro said the pulled a fucking gun and the officer said the one with the shirt 🤓
"Kill me!"
30 seconds later
"I don't wanna die!"
At first I thought it said man gets sparked by police 😂
He wanted some Rib cook-off 🤷ðŸÂ¾â€Â♂ï¸Â
Good example of why shooting someone in the back isn't always unjustified.
They Iced him.
lmfao "let me smoke and ill drop my gun bahahahahahahah"
Good job officer
"We just wanna talk" – poiting a gun LOL
The use of that mustang as cover is simply unacceptable. Find something else!
"STA-HAND
This guy was super confused ðŸ˜Â. Holds a gun to his own head then says he doesn’t wanna die……did he also say he was a child abuser and a Hell’s Angel? So many questions! Drugs are bad kids!
7:08 : fire lane, indeed
How did they know his name was Hans ?
Remember everyone Tom cruise cured his dyslexia from study tech.
"TURN OFF YOUR CAMERAS" WOW!
when he confessed to being a cho mo the cops should have told him to do it
i wish less non-violent criminals were incarcerated and that more violent criminals were killed. sucks that this nutjobs lived.
comment section who would rather see him shot to death is exatcly why police activity should just delete its channel and start over. leave these evil fans behind we dont need them
Trigger happy
7:02 lol fire lane. Ironic.
ah shit, i saw a lot of deaths today, there goes my work day x.x
“Let me smoke and I’ll drop it†hmmm looks like you already got smoked by the cops
3:06 Is there any way for these fruitcakes who say "I don't wanna die" to let their actions reflect that statement instead of acting as if they do? Just some food for thought offered to this rocket scientist seminar.
Blazing Saddles Junkie for sure….
Why the hell don’t they tell him, I’m gonna shoot you if you back up any more! Instead of chasing him through town around people.
"FEET, FEET, Let me see your FEET!"
Ironic that they were by the “fire lane†sign
The Hypocrisy is the video is palpable
That cone at 4:00 is brighter than my future
Okay why they instructed to turn the camera off?
Bad shoot, typical femoid cop.
Of course a female cop shoot first like great job
The sign should have said “Firing Laneâ€Â.
FYI: the dust bin won't stop a bullet. Not a good option for cover…
“I’m a hell’s Angel†😂😂
I want 100k or this piece of crap gets it! And when I’m done with him I’m coming for you!
Sir you can’t hold yourself hostage, that’s not even a thing. And also, what?
