Video - AK-47-Wielding Gunman Fires 37 Times At Shocked Cops During Routine Traffic Stop
The Blaze
Terrifying dash-cam footage captures the moment a crazed motorist opened fire with an AK-47 rifle at police officers who had just pulled him over for a minor traffic violation in Middlefield, Ohio.
James Gilkerson, 42, exited his parked car and then fired 37 shots at the officers and their patrol car, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported. Officers Erin Thomas and Brandon Savage returned fire, killing Gilkerson.
Police have no idea why Gilkerson opened fire.
“He got of the vehicle, intending to kill my officers. We don’t know why he did it,” said Middlefield Police Chief Arnold Stanko. “He was a scumbag, and a terrorist, and he’s dead.”

How do you know these officers are guilty of such actions?
Your painting with a very wide brush.
Police are not your friend they protect corporations not citizens. They are merely toll collectors for the state idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got that right buddy, 90% are bad cops. The guy in the video was probably harassed by this cop daily. So the cop deserved it. Sad thing was his accuracy wasn’t their and he should of used a AK so the cop would be swiss cheese. If a good cop doesn’t want to arrest a bad cops that makes them ALL bad cops.
JDS, get a clue.
I need to correct myself I meant RJ get a clue*
jdspatriot YOU ARE A idiot TO SAY POLICE get what they deserve would you say that if it was your brother sister that was fired on with a AK-47 I THINK YOU ARE IN THE WRONG COUNTRY you would be better off in China
If that really was an AK that police car and its occupants would be swiss cheese…..b.s. alert !!!
Where is the AK-47? Are there ak47 pistols or are the police lying for drama?
“They (cops) did say Gilkerson fired 37 rounds from an AK-47 rifle on March 10, and that the two officers fired back with 54 rounds of their own, killing the Mentor-on-the Lake man.”
These cops are incredibly bad shots, just like the man with the imaginary ak47. It took cops 54 shots to bring down one man. LOL at cops.
Suicide by cop?
Sounded like the guy said, “Kill me.” @ 1:04 just as he is bending over…
You just never know if the cops are going to kill you for “officer safety” so it’s not surprising someone would shoot first. He was a really bad shot though.
Either the guy was a bad shot, or he didn’t want to kill the cops and just be killed by “suicide by cop”. An AK 47 firing 37 round at closed range, would have turned the cops into hamburger meat.
It is indeed sad an un-American of all antigun Obama butt kissers to use the term, AK47, even if it were a b-b-gun, in their attempt to destroy the second Amendment. Tell the truth, cops, your credibility is already almost none existent.
when a cop dies I love life a bit more,piggy gets what they deserve!
Typical cop-hating NRA deushbag, defended by BIN deushbags who can’t even identify an AK-47 when it is shooting them in the face.
Homeland Security thanks you for leaving such clean digital fingerprints!
sorry but the politicians, cops and the media have lied so often about EVERYTHING, i no longer believe anything they have to say!
Death by cop…. However, these days you can’t trust that the type of weapon used was really an AK-47 or other “assault weapon”, unfortunately. The freedom-haters and the ignorant will stoop to some pretty low lows and lie through their teeth in order to disarm the public and help criminals gain control. Now, I’m not sure if it’s just my monitor’s resolution, but that looked like a handgun…
For anybody still not sure that this was an AK-47 (or some variant thereof), you can clearly see in many points in the video a rifle sling as the man shoots at the officers. Then at :44 in the video as the man is stumbling to the ground, we can see the distinctive curved magazine on the weapon, clearly identifying it as an AK. That said, it was not the militarized fully automatic version. He was clearly pulling the trigger for each round fired.
In the same amount of time, he could have done more damage with a pump shotgun loaded with double-ought rounds, or, if skillful enough, with a 6-shot revolver. They were extremely lucky that there were two of them to fire back and that this guy clearly had a death wish, exposing himself the way he did to return fire. Bad as this was, had he taken cover they could have been faced with an even worse situation.
This is why the Plain Dealer is losing readers. An AK-47′s magazine only holds 30 rounds (the most popular, there are 50 round mags, and 75 round mags, but the vast majority are 30 rounds).
up with the dope, and down with the hope!
If you believe Barracuda’s stories you folks are stupid.
This is what it’s like to be shot at with an AK-47
http://youtu.be/3ZzoB6xBWOI
The video has been taken down, but the still image is there & it appears that he is using a pistol & not an AK-47.
It would take skill to miss that many times with an ak, this was probably a case of suicide by cop.
Seen this video all over the place. Just another Suicide By Cop. Looks like the guy played too much GTA – Reloading in the street, Not taking cover – No strategic positioning what so ever. I hate cops and even I wanted the police to take this guy down for just being such a moron.
suicide by cop
All blanks.. no worries.
It was indeed a hand gun, and no, it was not gay, it was quite sad and very tragic that this man wanted to commit suicide by cop. Too bad the poster did not take the time to watch the video before he posted the story in support of the tyrants who want the guns. The headline he used is not appropriate.

Know your enemy.
The only liar here is that piece of trash barracuda.
The cops are the ones quoted as saying that the shooter used a ak47 but the video simply proves that they are lying, or that there is a ak47 pistol. Of that, i don’t know.

AnusOfEvil, you are a shill.
Equalizer you are a douc*e.
At least we know what we are.
This could be the start of a great friendship!
With the way people are being abused by uniformed thugs these days, there’s going to be a lot more of this.
Just what they want to happen of course.
They care not if real peace officers are sacrificed in this calculated march toward a baited rebellion.
Its not a handgun you idiot waste of atoms.
You clearly see the guys hands in position to hold a larger weapon.
You are a moronic excuse for a human being
Im sure they are SOOOOOO disappointed of having lost your trust…..
Do you hear that? That’s the sound of people not caring…
I was going to say…37 shots and not one cop was killed…hmmmmm!!!
Praise Jebus sounds like your brain dead
You are just disappointed that there was no AK 47, and everyone here knows it,SHILL !
there are 40 round AK mags also.
Another aspect to consider:
Was this guy just another hypnotized Surhan Sirhan clone…set up to provide an “apparent” excuse for gun confiscation ?
