GOSHEN – Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler late Thursday
afternoon released the police body camera video of the Maybrook shooting
incident in which Montgomery/Maybrook Police Chief Arnold Amthor was shot
in the shoulder.
The chief and other officers had gone to a residence in Maybrook for a
domestic dispute involving Bostick and his girlfriend.
In the video, one can hear the officer instructing Bostick to drop his
weapon. A gun is visible in Bostick’s right hand, although his body
cannot be seen on camera.
When gunfire erupts, several shots appear to be fired by both Bostick
and the police with one officer shouting that he believes Bostick shot
himself.
At about the same time, an officer instructs fellow police to remove Chief
Amthor from the scene at which time another officer is heard saying he
has already been taken out.
