SEATTLE - Police dash camera video of a fatal shooting of a woodcarver by a Seattle police officer last August has been released. Click here to watch the raw video

You can't see the shooting in the video, but you can hear it.

Seattle Police Officer Ian Birk's dashboard camera shows woodcarver John T. Williams apparently carving on a piece of wood as he walks in front of the patrol car. He's looking down and appears to be minding his own busine

Birk, a two-year veteran officer, follows Williams and yells.

"Hey. Hey. Hey. Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down."

Then, five gunshots are heard in rapid succession.

From the time Birk makes initial contact by yelling "Hey," seven seconds passes before he fires.
