Never bring a bat to a gunfight. And wow, this copy really unloaded on the ape.

The Evansville Police Department released body camera and surveillance video from the fatal officer-involved shooting near the front entrance of the federal building Tuesday morning. Ricky Ard, 55, was fatally shot by by two law enforcement officers after Ard used a baseball bat to break the reinforced glass on the front doors, prior to charging after one of the officers, according to the body camera and surveillance video.
The police department released the video clips a little more than 28 hours after the fatal shooting, which happened around 11:15 Tuesday morning.
According to the video, Ard, who weighed over 300 pounds, violently swung the wooden baseball bat, breaking the glass to two of the front doors. Several court security officers, who are contract employees of the US Marshals, prevented Ard from entering the facility. As Ard began to retreat, the court security officers began to form what resembled a human wall outside the front doors. While the federal building's security video does not contain audio, the court security officers repeatedly issued verbal commands despite Ard threatening officers with the bat.
