A shocking video shows the death of a Florida man when police gunned him down after he allegedly robbed a bank Saturday.

The man allegedly robbed a Bank of America in Miami Beach earlier that day by handing a bank teller a note demanding money and saying he had a bomb, CNN reports. Police followed him to a barber shop. The man came out of the shop with a straight edge razor, which is where the video picks up.

The man can be seen shirtless walking around as officers point their guns at him. He’s clearly hit with a taser as gunshots ring out and the man falls to the ground. Police say one, unnamed officer fired two fatal shots from a rifle. The entire incident occurred as a crowd looked on from across the street.

“It’s a horrible, isolated incident,” said Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine. “As we learn more about this incident from Miami-Dade police, from the state attorney’s office, we will make sure to keep everyone informed.”
