The Tennessean reports that the video, released yesterday, shows Gallatin Officer James Spray telling 40-year-old Laronda Sweatt, who was holding the ax, to stop approaching him multiple times before fatally shooting her.
The footage was captured from a camera on Spray's vest as well as from another officer.
Authorities say Sweatt had become combative when Sumner County sheriff's deputy Gary Pickard accompanied housing authorities to serve an eviction notice on her Wednesday.
Spray is on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
