ATTENTION: The video released by police is graphic. Viewer discretion is advised.

Authorities have released bodycam and dashcam footage from an officer-involved shooting in Aurora that followed a Plano home break-in and police chase last month.

The Kendall County Sheriff's Office and the Plano Police Department shared the footage Friday to ensure transparency and give the public a clearer picture of the events leading up to the deaths of 70-year-old Russell Novak and his son, 36 -year-old Nicholas, led Novak.

The incident began the night of Sept. 27 when Plano police responded to reports of a home invasion on Pratt Court where shots had been fired. When officers arrived, they found a car believed to be related to the incident.

When police attempted to stop the car, the driver fled, prompting multiple law enforcement agencies to give chase.

During the chase, officers learned that Russell Novak had been found at the Plano residence with multiple gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts, he died from his injuries.

The police chase ended in Aurora near Route 34 and Eola Road. According to authorities, Nicholas Novak exited the vehicle armed and pointed a firearm at the officers, causing them to open fire. He was hit and later died at Rush Copley Hospital.

The released video footage includes portions of 911 calls, body-worn camera clips and patrol car dashboard camera footage showing the tense moments before the fatal shooting.

“We have asked the Illinois State Police to conduct an independent investigation into this incident and the results will be presented to the DuPage County District Attorney's Office for final review,” the Kendall County Sheriff's Office said in a post on Facebook.

No officers were injured in the incident.
