MEDFORD, Ore. — The surveillance video and 911 tapes from an officer involved shooting reveal what happened in the last moments of James “Jimmy” Georgeson, Jr.’s life.

Georgeson was shot and killed by U.S. Marshals in the Albertsons parking lot in West Medford last month. He was wanted for parole violation.
On Thursday, a grand jury ruled that the marshals who shot him were justified.
The surveillance video was released because the Jackson County District Attorney’s office says the case is now closed.
In the video you, can see Georgeson driving a silver Dodge Durango towards the front of the parking lot. A marshal driving a black SUV blocked him at the front of the store, and Georgeson put the car in reverse.
He then backed into a pillar on the building. At that point you can see a marshal opening fire. The entire incident lasts less than a minute.
Just after the shooting, a handful of witnesses called 911. In one of the clips you can hear one of the marshals telling dispatchers that Georgeson appeared unconscious.
The DA’s office also released a 3-D re-enactment of the shooting that was shown to jurors.
David Hoppe, the deputy district attorney handling the case, says you can see in the video that the marshal’s attempted to both corner Georgeson in his car at the front of the building.
However, the plan didn’t work out when one of the marshals was blocked by another car.
