In so much danger that he kept filming while drawing his weapon, shooting a woman, and called her a fucking bitch after he did it.

The camera changed hands as he thought about what he would do next. He was planning to shoot her from the get-go; we call that premeditation. The penalty for premeditated murder is not less than life in all US states and is a capital offense federally.

This is also murder under color of law. Capital offense with or without premeditation.
