The Bend Police Department on Thursday released private surveillance video from their investigation into the Bend Safeway shooting on Aug. 28.
Chief Krantz said now that the investigation is over, the department is required to comply with public record requests — of which he said there were dozens — to release the video. And while faces and key moments of violence were blacked out by police, Krantz says he advises people not to watch the violent video.

Central Oregon Daily News is not posting the surveillance video. It can be found on the Bend Police website.
