Video: Bungling Cop Shoots Colleague Nine Times
The moment a bungling officer shot his colleague nine times during a drug sting is captured in a video just released by a US police department.
"Oh s*** that was Jacob!" screams Lt Greg Brachle after opening fire on the undercover detective during the January 2015 mix-up in a McDonald's car park in Albuquerque.
Jacob Grant, 38, survived, though he lost 80% of his blood and suffered injuries to all of his major organs as he was shot in the arm, shoulder, chest, abdomen and hip.
The footage was released a day after the city of Albuquerque paid a $6.5m settlement to Detective Grant, who has undergone multiple surgeries since the shooting.

The white officer and another colleague were in a vehicle with two black drug suspects, who were surrendering as officers moved in.
Lt Brachle approached the car, which had tinted windows, and opened fire as one of the rear doors opened.
"Holy s*** it's Jacob! F*** me!" Lt Greg Brachle screams as he realises his near-fatal error.
'Are you okay?' Lt Brachle asks the wounded cop
