PHOENIX — Home surveillance video shows the moment a suspect and Phoenix police officers exchanged gunfire.

The shooting happened Monday in a neighborhood near 35th Avenue and Holly Street.

The suspect was accused of shooting a Department of Public Safety trooper during a traffic stop just prior to the shooting in the video.

The trooper and a Phoenix police officer hit by shrapnel were taken to a hospital for treatment of their injuries and have since been released.

The suspect was later pronounced dead.

"There was a shootout directly in front of our house," Estela Montes told ABC15.

Montes says she was getting ready to go to the movies with her niece when shots were fired.

"Honestly I thought someone was banging on our door because we have a rod-iron front door. And as I come out, we notice police are all in front of our house and they started putting up tape," she added.

"You could see the car coming from Holly [street], around the corner. And then he stops in front of our home and then you hear a loud bang," said Montes.
