Certainly a justified shoot but the video is interesting. Looks like suicide by cop but plenty of triggers for the anti's to use. The audio is interesting. The guy was hit but not completely down, the lady cop sounds like she is more worried about calling dispatch then making sure the guy shooting at her is down.

I read the story at the news site.

She’d had a part of an index finger shot off in the first exchange of fire.

I guess if Obama plants enough seeds, eventually one is going to sprout.

I've been saying this for a while -- suicide is way up in this country. If someone is feeling depressed and hopeless, and if they happen to blame "the authorities", then suicide by cop may seem like an option. Or, if such a person is just driving around and runs a stop sign and gets pulled over, they might make a split second decision to just "have a blast" over pretty much nothing.

Much of the country is hovering at the brink.

OK, we have an assault weapon, a hi-cap magazine. Do we have a Tea Bagger right wing white guy?

She actually gave the female scream during the event.

I have seen some of the shows that show live video of global accidents, crashes, etc, and the females still scream, although Hollywood has eliminated it in many action and drama movies since the feminist movement, (horror movies don’t count).

This happened in March.

Curious how the lame-stream media waited until the NRA convention was underway to report this incident?

ABC World News Tonight went from showing this Ohio shooting video to a hatchet piece about the NRA convention in Houston.

By the way, the female cop was shot in the hand, her male partner was grazed by a round. ABC said both officers were “injured” without getting specific.

The shooter was shot 19 times by the police and died at the scene. Before getting shot he shouted at the police, “Kill me! Kill me!”

Suicide by cop.

Other details from various:

According to Cleveland.com, the assault rifle used by Gilkerson was an AK-47. He fired 37 shots at Officers Brandon Savage and Erin Thomas. They returned fire with 54 rounds of their own.

The attorney who represented him in a 2006 drunken driving conviction remembers him as a person who appeared to be anti-establishment.

Gilkerson did not have an extensive criminal past. The last time police in Mentor-on-the-Lake responded to a call to his home was in August 2012 when his mother had a stroke. A person who answered a relative’s phone said he cared for his mother, who had been ill.

In a joint news release from Middlefield Mayor Ben Garlich and Middlefield Police Chief Arnold Stanko on Monday, Gilkerson’s alleged weapon was identified as an SKS semi-automatic rifle.

definitely sounds like he says kill me twice, then the male puts 17 shots into him...

Maybe he was foolishly in pursuit of Dorner.

See the importance of training and accuracy in contrast with the importance of type of weapon?

If you listened to the video, she told her partner to cover while she called backup. And she lost a finger in the exchange, Jerk, so she might not have been able to handle her firearm effectively.

Do we have to excerpt the blaze?

Thank God that the a##hole was such a poor shot. Don’t know why the female is taking grief here. Sounds like she kept her cool, relatively speaking. The white car in the oncoming lane took a few seconds but then backed way the ****up in a hurry and in a controlled manner
