violent criminal history shoots at
police in Minnesota only to get released
Steal a Cop Car and start shooting at
police all over again I've lost my radio
watch out around noon on March 16th 2020
officers were called to a Walmart in
Brooklyn Park Minnesota to investigate
some potential shoplifting along with
the purchase of a suspicious amount of
ammo from the surveillance footage the
suspect in question can be seen paying
cash for an item in the electronic
section of the store however it is worth
noting that this individual has a
criminal history of counterfeiting in
fact at the time this video was recorded
he had just served a several yearlong
sentence for counterfeiting he was also
charged with the illegal possession of a
firearm and for possessing at least 6 G
of cocaine heroin Andor meth after
filling up his cart past the brim the
suspect walks himself to the self
checkout lane here suspected accomplice
can be seen when the suspect walks out
the door to leave he is confronted by
police and the following scene unfolds
down on the ground right now get down on

Walmart after the incident the shooter
was sent to the hospital to recover from
his inj injuries which were not fatal no
other injuries were reported while Court
documentation for this incident is not
readily available news sources indicate
that the shooter was charged with two
counts of first-degree assault
particularly the use of deadly force
against a peace officer and one count of
possession of ammunition or a firearm as
a convicted felon two additional charges
were filed against the suspect months
later for the same incident he was
charged with second degree assault and
first degree robbery for pointing his
gun at a woman in an alleged attempt to
carjack her during the shooting take
note of this dark form of foreshadowing
the sentencing results of this case have
become moot after the suspect posted
bail in April of the next year and would
be involved in another incident with
police on May 19th 2021 the suspect was
stopped during a routine traffic
violation in Utah at the time he was
traveling with a female in the passenger
seat the traffic violation eventually
led to enough suspicion for the officer
to conduct a search of the vehicle the
officer calls for more squads to to
arrive on scene the officers are unaware
that the suspect is out on bail for
shooting at officers in Minnesota so do
you have any other
IDE it's probably a little based on the
stories nothing that well that ID

female driver unaware of the situation
slowed down to see if the shooter needed
help the suspect reportedly pointed his
rifle at her head and told them if they
did not transport him he would kill them
the driver's significant other made the
decision to hit the barrel of the rifle
away the suspect would then pull the
trigger and fire it into the center of
the dashboard this caused the car's
OnStar system to activate temporarily
disabling the SUV they quickly restarted
the car and sped away however the
suspect kept firing at them causing a
bullet to go through the passenger's leg
