FORT WORTH -- Officer Matt Pearce had his body camera on and rolling when he was "ambushed" by a wanted suspect as he was climbing over a barbed-wire fence on Tuesday, Fort Worth Police Cpl. Tracey Knight told News 8 Thursday.

The department has no plans to release the video at this time. Cpl. Knight walked us through what can be seen and heard on it.

According to Knight, the video shows Pearce moving through heavy brush off of Longvue Avenue in Far West Fort Worth and climbing over the fence when Ed Russell McIver, Sr. began shooting at him.

The location where Officer Matt Pearce was ambushed.

Pearce empties the magazine of his handgun returning fire at McIver, Sr. as he falls down and radios out a shots fired call.

Cpl. Knight said McIver Sr. then fires again on the prone officer.

At that time, another officer arrives and shoots McIver, Sr.

Ed Russell McIver Sr. was fatally wounded in an exchange of gunfire with authorities in Fort Worth on March 15, 2016.

Pearce called out "officer down," but he did not press his radio mic, so no other officers heard him.

A responding officer saw Pearce's feet sticking out of some brush and yelled "Show me your hands." Pearce struggled to say "blue, blue," identifying himself as a police officer.

The responding officer then says, "Oh my gosh, Matt, where are you hit?"

Pearce replies, "Everywhere."

The officer's family said earlier this week Pearce was shot seven times. Cpl. Knight told us doctors actually do not currently know how many times the officer was shot.

Meanwhile, McIver's son, Ed Russell McIver, Jr. was still on the loose and potentially dangerous. From the body camera footage, it is unclear when they split up, but McIver, Jr. was not present when his dad shot Officer Pearce.

Ed Russell McIver Jr. was involved in a chase that led to the shooting of a Fort Worth officer on March 15, 2016.

A "tech med," or an officer who is also an emergency medical technician, was called to assist Pearce. According to Knight, the officer rushed to the scene so quickly she didn't even stop for body armor.

Officers carried Pearce out of the heavy brush to a police SUV, which was to drive Pearce to a CareFlite air ambulance. However, the SUV got stuck in the mud.

The officers got out of the vehicle without cover in the still-dangerous situation with a manhunt in progress around them and pushed the SUV loose.

Then, it got stuck again. It would not push free this time. The helicopter landed nearby and the officers rushed Pearce to the chopper on a backboard.

Police carry Officer Matt Pearce to an air ambulance after he was shot multiple times by a suspect.

Ed McIver, Jr. was found a short time later after an intense manhunt. A rifle was found in the area near him, though he was not holding the weapon. He is charged with attempted capital murder, evading arrest and unlawful carrying of a weapon. His bond was set at more than $2 million.

Ed McIver, Jr. is taken into custody.

Pearce was flown to John Peter Smith Hospital in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds. He remains sedated in critical condition Thursday, though Fort Worth police say doctors are considering waking him up soon.

Cpl. Knight said they believe that is a good sign for Officer Pearce's recovery.

The CareFlite helicopter takes off for John Peter Smith Hospital.
