AK-47 Shootout
It started as a routine traffic stop in rural Ohio. Without warning the driver flings the door open and starts blasting away. It all happened last March but police have only now released this dash cam video. In it, James Gilkerson unloads 33 rounds into a cruiser with his AK-47 style assault rifle. Take another look before the shootout erupted. You can hear how surprised the two officers were, one letting out a scream. Whoa! That officer Erin Thomas was outside the car at the time while her partner Brandon Savage was inside. Both were injured but managed to take cover and returned fire, hitting the 42-year-old who can be heard on the tape saying kill me.
