Bodycam footage shows the moment police took down brother of Aaron Hernandez for allegedly planning school shootings



Newly-released police body camera footage shows the moments police took down the brother of late football star and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez amid suspicions that he was planning mass shootings at two universities.

Daniel “DJ” Hernandez, 37, was arrested on July 19 in Bristol, Connecticut, after people who knew him warned police that he was acting erratically and possibly planning to attack the campuses of Brown University and the University of Connecticut.

A police incident report says that after officers tracked Hernandez to a home in Bristol, he walked out of the residence after telling officers that he was “armed” and that if police approached, “he would kill us all.” According to the report, he began to advance on police, his “hands outstretched to his side.”

“Will I kill? Absolutely,” Hernandez wrote on social media on July 19, according to the report. “I’ve warned my enemies so pay up front.”
