 This is the moment a California cop shot dead a dangerous fugitive from 30 yards after he opened fire on the officer and tried to steal his motorcycle during a highway chase. 

Dramatic body camera footage shows Fremont police officer Brian Burch, rolling down an embankment to escape a hail of bullets fired by attempted homicide suspect Joshua James Gloria, 34, before stumbling to his feet and returning fire.  

Burch fired five shots at Gloria, from Oakland, before the suspect collapsed to the ground and died just before 2.50pm on March 24. 

Police had wanted to question him about an armed robbery in San Francisco.


The video starts with Officer Burch, a six-year veteran who was on traffic duty, driving his motorcycle towards Gloria's car after being informed that it had activated a license plate reader camera nearby
