A man is dead after police say he entered the lobby of a police station in Michigan and attempted to open fire.

At around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, an unidentified 33-year-old male entered the lobby of the Dearborn Police Department, just a few miles west of Detroit. While inside, police say the man took a look around before he pulled a concealed handgun from somewhere on his person and attempted to fire the weapon at the uniformed officer behind the front desk.

Fortunately, the man's weapon — which was reportedly a stolen 9mm handgun — malfunctioned and did not fire a round. By the time the man attempted to rectify the malfunction, the targeted officer had drawn his service weapon and fired "multiple rounds that struck the individual," Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin later claimed.

The suspect was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where he ultimately died from his injuries. No officer was physically harmed in the incident. The police station lobby remained closed until late Monday morning, when it resumed normal operations.

He definitely didn’t think this through.

Muslims - AAAArab???

Ali Naji? Dearborn? Likely Islamic terrorism nobody will know about because the media won't tell them about it.

Some people have very active guardian angels.

Holding the gun sideways like a gangsta moron will do that.
Spike Lee may have inadvertently performed an important public service by glamourizing shooting sideways. Even Roy Rogers, Annie Oakley, Dirty Harry couldn't hit the broad side of a barn using that shooting method 🙂🙂

Q: What was the last thing that went thru his mind when he realized his gun was jammed?

A: A 9mm bullet

You beat me to it! LOL

I’ve never had one ‘jam’

Neither have I.

You're a Marine. I got my basic firearms training from a Marine.

That means we take proper care of our weapons.

Criminals don't tend to be quite so diligent.

I have heard from friends in the cop business that criminals:

1) Don't take care of their guns very well.

2) Frequently carry them without a holster.

3) Frequently don't load them to capacity.

4) Frequently load them with oddly mismatched cartridges.

5) Don't tend to practice much

This is all not conducive to proper functioning ...

A while back someone did a study on bad guys and weapons malfunctions. IIRC about 30% of the time the weapon failed mostly due to incorrect ammunition being used.

These people aren’t members of MENSA.

Well, that would ‘splain much!..............

Probably cheap re-loaded cartridges.................

“Probably cheap re-loaded cartridges.”

Could be. I don’t see the Insane Coho Lips having a skilled Reloader in their ranks.

There are things called cleaning kits! There pretty cheap!

He never fired a shot. The police didn’t even try to de-escalate the situation, they just shot him a bunch of times and killed him. Time for relatives to get a lawyer and sue.

[stevio]

They know how to jam pistols!

[Red Badger]

You mean they can’t use vise grips and a ball peen hammer?.................😎

One would think the front door of a P.D. would have a metal detector.

[Osage Orange]

I have..
