WARNING: Video includes scenes of graphic violence that may be inappropriate for some viewers.

The Washington State Patrol has released a surveillance video of Anthony A. Martinez firing 12 gunshots, two fatal, Jan. 23, in the Port Orchard Walmart parking lot.

Martinez, 31, wounded Andrew Paul Ejde and John Roy Stacy, both Kitsap County sheriff’s deputies.

Then, he took a shot to the leg from Deputy Krista Rae McDonald.

Astrid Valdivia, a 13-year-old who ran away with Martinez from her foster parents in Utah, then ran over to Martinez, and he shot her in the heart.

Martinez then shot himself in the heart.

Ejde, 48 sustained a shot in to his arm and shoulder, and Stacy, 50, sustained a shot to the shoulder.

The deputies came to the Walmart after receiving a call from a woman who said that she knew that Martinez and Valdivia had been living together in a van "back and forth" between Walmart and Burger King.

"There's just some concerns I have because he's got somebody with him ... and I'm not feeling comfortable about the whole situation," she said.

She also said that Martinez might be armed.

Washington State Patrol plans to release the full case report to the public in in the near future.

“The actual full case report is two full three ring binders and two full megs of video,” said Bob Calkins, a Washington State Patrol spokesman.

The Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office is also expected to announce whether MacDonald acted appropriately in shooting at Martinez.
