A foot chase with an armed carjacking suspect, a partner shot, an open gun battle with no cover or concealment, taking two rounds in the legs, a gun jam…its like every academy training scenario rolled into one nightmare.

Troy PD Officer Josh Comitale’s nightmare.

Josh won the U.S. Congressional Medal of Bravery for his actions that day, and after you hear his story, you’ll understand why.

Here’s the surveillance camera footage that captures the entire shooting. (Josh is seen on foot in the parking lot in the upper right with the flashlight. His partner Chad Klein is seen coming into the seen in his patrol SUV).
