PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- SEPTA police say they want to be transparent about what led to a man being shot by officers in the Kensington section of Philadelphia Wednesday night.

They have released body camera video of officers responding to a shooting on the 400 block of East Somerset Street and, moments later, firing at Jose Lebron.

They say LeBron emerged from a nearby home, pointed a firearm at his own head, then at the officers.

Both Lebron and the woman survived.

He is charged with attempted murder along with a list of other charges.
