Body camera footage from Officer Wilt shows gunshots can be heard as soon as officers arrive.
As Wilt and Galloway make their way up the stairs toward the gunfire, Wilt is struck by gunfire from the shooter.
Galloway drops and rolls back down the stairs. He hides behind a wall of concrete trying to find a vantage point to neutralize the shooter.
"The shooter has an angle on [Officer Wilt], I don't know where he's at, the glass is blocking him," Galloway radios to other officers.
Humphrey said while officers attempted to retrieve Wilt to render medical aid, the shooter continued to fire upon the police.
Galloway is able to find a vantage point as the shooter continues to shoot out glass and after several shots back and forth, the suspect is shot.
"Suspect down! Get the officer!" Galloway commands. He then makes his way into the building and confirms the shooter is neutralized.
Humphrey commended the officers for their quick actions saying they ultimately saved lives.
"Not a single person received additional injury once officers arrived on the scene," he said. "That's why we're here."
After confirming the suspect was dead, officers assisted EMS with treating victims and getting them to the hospital.
"Officers' medical treatment saved lives that day," Humphrey said.
Mayor Craig Greenberg added that "a giant debt of gratitude is owed by our entire community to officer Wilt, Officer Galloway, and all of the heroic men and women on LMPD and the other first responders who responded to this."
