MIDDLEFIELD, OHIO Police in Middlefield, Ohio released dash cam video of a deadly police-involved shooting, CBS affiliate WOIO Cleveland reported.

The shooting happened on March 10 during a traffic stop in the area of North State Avenue near Tare Creek Parkway.

Before the Middlefield officers could even get out of the cruiser, James Gilkerson, 42, grabbed his semi-automatic AK-47 rifle and opened fire on the officers.

The officers returned fire, and killed Gilkerson.

Hundreds of rounds of ammunition were found in Gilkerson's car. Also found -- another rifle, gunpowder, ammunition boxes and several books and videos describing tactics of violence.

The police cruiser driven by the officers was riddled by bullets. 37 fired by Gilkerson, some 50 rounds were fired by officers. Some of the rounds fired by Gilkerson's powerful weapon penetrated the transmission and engine block.

Officer Erin Thomas had serious gunshot injuries to her left hand, shrapnel was embedded into her right wrist and she had a gunshot wound to her left thigh. She underwent surgery a Metro, and has since recovered from her injuries.

Officer Brandon Savage had minor injuries to his left knee from flying fragments. He is back on the job.

Damn - read something briefly about this in the paper, but didnt realize it was up in Middlefield.

Dont expect this shit when your patrolling a small town in a community surrounded by amish, but the meth operations and nut cases have spread like wildfire the last few years I guess.

What were those cops thinking. I mean, think about all those neighborhood dogs put at risk with those bullets flying around. I don't care much about the human lives at stake but if those pigs killed any dogs or cats they deserve the chair.

Michigan, just south of Det
why didn't they walk up and put one in his head, point blank?

and the guy in the white car would have put himself right in the officers gunfire line.....tough call there. He was probably scared shitless.

Joker is the one that hates cops, not me.

Oh, I'm sure that I've said one or two negative things about police officers. However, and this to directly address the short bus-taking individual(s) and clarify things a little for them, having a dislike for cops and wanting them killed are two distinctly different trains of thoughts and NOT mutually exclusive.

Peace! :)
