SEATTLE — Seattle police have released dash cam video capturing an ambush on officers conducting an unrelated domestic violence investigation on New Year’s Eve.

According to Fox 13, several officers were interviewing a suspect in a domestic violence incident when gunfire erupted.

Officers immediately drew their guns and took cover — shielding the domestic violence suspect as they returned fire toward the unidentified gunman, according to the Seattle Police Department.

Officers then believe the shooter’s vehicle pulled away. No one was injured in the incident and no arrests have been made.

Three officers who fired back have been placed on administrative leave, per the department’s standard policy.
