Washington (pictured) was also fatally shot by police during the robbery, and was later found to be carrying a pellet gun. "COPS" has been on the air since 1989, and currently airs on the Paramount cable network. John Langley, the show's co-creator, confirmed that Bryce was the first crew member to ever die during the filming of an episode.
