Arlington police released videos Tuesday of an interaction between police and an armed man who they say fired on officers after a welfare call.
The Arlington Police Department said Monday they planned to release edited video from dashboard cameras and body-worn cameras of the May 20 shooting.
Last month, police were called to a home on Shady Valley Drive where a family said they were worried after an argument with another family member over drug use.

Austin Taylor, 21, left the home and talked with police but was released because he hadn't committed a crime.
Officers offered to give Taylor a ride home and said they would have to frisk him for weapons before he entered the police vehicle. When officers attempted to pat him down, Taylor took off running and officers did not pursue him.
A short time after talking with officers, Arlington police said there was a report of an attempted robbery in the neighborhood and that the robber matched the description of the man in the welfare call.

Another call to 911 indicated the man had returned home and fired a weapon several times and had taken a truck. Police said the man fired at officers through the truck's windshield and then collided with another vehicle.
The armed man ran from the truck and to a carport. Taylor was confronted by police outside a home where he was shot at multiple times.
After shots were fired Taylor complied with officers and the handgun was recovered by police. He had been shot three times and was taken to the hospital.
No officers were injured during the chase and the Arlington Police Department will not release officers names at this time.
"We didn't escalate that. If Mr. Taylor would've complied, he had several opportunities to comply with our orders, he never," said Police Chief Al Jones. "What's even more disturbing is that he fired his weapon at one of our officers. That right there is really serious to me."
Taylor was booked into the Tarrant County Jail where he is being held, bonds totaling $275,000. It's not clear if he's obtained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
Police said Taylor was released from the hospital and faces multiple charges including, one count of aggravated assault on a public servant, two counts of aggravated assault family violence, one count of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of evading.
Police said Monday that both the criminal and administrative investigations into the shooting are ongoing.
