This one ended well. Thank God!
This had to be one really scary event, for even the most seasoned cop...
Reminds me of what happened some years ago, when it didn't end so well for a LASD Deputy when an illegal alien exited a van at during a late night traffic stop. The illegal opens up on the patrol unit, shredding the patrol unit with lots of rounds, and the driver deputy took one in the head..
Long story short, the deputy survived after tons of therapy and they caught the cockroach down in Mexico, and brought the SOB back.
Forgot the mention, this incident too occurred when that suspect to had an AK and opened up on the patrol unit. The patrol unit had a whole lot of bullet holes in it.
