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.

Malfunction.

FReep seriously needs a "Like" button.. d:^)
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
They guy was trying to clear the gun for another attempt.
I would think it was fine to fire away at him.
Amish photo....
I tell you they’re putting something strange in the hay. Those horses take off and no police car can catch up with them.
Suicide by police?
RE: Getting in monthly firearms quals without even leaving your desk.
Good for him.
The perp happened to make the bad choice of wearing his red and white Target Stores T shirt.
Also was counting on a social worker stepping in front of his body and questioning the perp about his dysfunctional childhood with memories surfacing during this Christmas season. Bad choice.
I bet it was not a Glock(at the risk of starting another Ford vs Chevy type gun debate) 😆
You're a whole lot more considerate than I am . . . and in those circumstances you'd probably be a whole lot more dead.
I would prefer that the ‘bangers not know about these arcane, mysterious “cleaning kits” you speak of.
Man killed after pointing gun at officer in Dearborn Police Department
A man was shot and killed by police after he went into the Dearborn Police Department and pointed a gun at an officer. The investigation is ongoing.
DEARBORN, Mich (FOX 2) - A man who pointed a gun at an officer inside the Dearborn Police Department was shot and killed Sunday, authorities said.
According to police, the 33-year-old man, who has been identified as Ali Naji, entered the lobby of the police station around 3:30 p.m. Once inside, he pulled out a concealed handgun and pointed it at an officer behind the desk while standing about 5 feet from the officer. However, the gun malfunctioned.
“The individual attempted to fire the gun at the officer, prompting the officer to discharge multiple rounds that struck the individual,” said Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin.
According to police, the officer was behind bulletproof glass that has a sliding window.
The officer is on paid administrative, leave per protocol and policy. This is normal and is not insinuate any wrongdoing.
Naji was taken to a hosptial, where he died. No officers were hurt.
An investigation is now underway as Michigan State Police try to determine a motive. Police did note that Naji has a history of mental illness.
MSP said Monday that the 9mm gun used was stolen about an hour before the shooting.
I missed the statement:
“Ali Naji, a white man of Arabic descent ....”
This is probably a lefty who suddenly decided to get a gun he had no idea how to operate.
Blessedly, it happened at an extremely opportune moment for the intended victim.
I love a happy ending. But too close and I am sure that officer’s guardian angel is medal-worthy
The place looks like a little bit of Eden nice.
>>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.
It is sufficient cause for a self defense response when you point a gun at someone, you don’t have to wait until the first shot gets taken.
What a way to start the week! Full mag dump on a dirt bag and didn’t have to leave the station.
Next, please.
