The man, the records state, was later identified as 29-year-old Aaron Rehn.
Cameron had almost reached Rehn, the documents say, when Rehn produced a pistol and started firing. Cameron ran away toward a building as Rehn fired at least eight shots at the officer. Investigators later found eight 9mm shell casings at the scene. “I was getting shot at. Felt like I was going to die,” Cameron said to investigators, adding that he believed Rehn was “out to kill.”
Rehn was found about 7 a.m., some 2 1/2 hours later. A 12-year-old boy, getting ready for school, spotted him in a window well of the boy’s house, police said. The boy alerted his parents, who called 911.
