WATCH: Dramatic dashboard camera footage shows a fatal police shootout that started from an unassuming traffic stop What started as a standard traffic stop quickly escalated into a life-threatening gun fight in Solon, Ohio. Officers ended up killing Kevin Bailey in the March 17 shoot out, but the dash-cam video was only released on Monday showing how the suspect fired multiple shots at the officers first. The altercation began when officers pulled Bailey over after he crossed over three lanes quickly during an illegal lane change. Approaching the suspect: Police pulled Kevin Bailey (right) over after he made an illegal lane change in Solon, Ohio on March 17 though the footage of the incident was only released on Monday Trying to getaway: The suspect turns his engine on and begins to drive away in the middle of the questioning The video, obtained by Fox8, shows an officer approaching the car and Bailey tells him that he is visiting from Toledo. The officer asks if there is 'anything illegal in the car' and even though Bailey denied it, the unidentified officer can be heard saying that he's 'getting a whiff of it from out here, is that coming from your car or what?' The officer walks back to his vehicle to look up Bailey in the system, only to find that the 22-year-old had prior drug and weapon possession conviction. As the officer heads back to Bailey's car, the first sign of trouble comes when he begins to put his window up and turns on the car's engine. Face off: After running off the side of a road, Bailey gets out of the car and begins directly firing at the officer driving the police car before they start shooting back 'You don't have to roll your window up, you're not going anywhere!' the officer yells as Bailey starts to plot his exit. 'Don't do it, don't do it!' Bailey then speeds off, turns on a street just a few blocks away and rides up onto a curb. At that point he exits the car and begins shooting at the police car from just a few feet away. Photos released by the police department show the bullet holes in the driver's side of the windshield. Neither officer Steven Davis nor Nicholas Kline were injured in the shoot out though one of their badges was grazed by a bullet, leaving a hole in their uniform. Damage: The shots fired at the officer were stopped by the bulletproof glass Close call: Neither officer was injured in the altercation though a bullet did graze one of their uniforms Local government officials and their commanding officers are coming to the defense of police, saying that the footage shows they were right to shoot. 'The video from the officer's dashboard camera speaks for itself as to the life-threatening circumstances faced by the police,' Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty told Fox8. 'I don't think there was ever any question that the actions taken by the Solon Police on that night were unfortunate but necessary and completely driven by Mr. Bailey's unprovoked choice to shoot,' police chief Christopher Viland said in a statement.
