It says a lot for the training and capabilities of the cops; they got out, faced down the threat and outgunned a madman with an AK. The female officer lost her left index finger (a rookie with a month on the department). Male officer had slight injuries, and is back on the job. Bad guy fired 37 rounds from an AK-47 and died at the scene. In the car police found another 8 mags for the AK with 40 rounds each, extremist literature, DVD's on improvised explosives, etc. Apparently a loner, the man was a self-indoctrinated ultra-anti-government extremist nutjob. He had no criminal record.

There was information via various Cop websites (unk on whether or not the info is solid) that the officers were out of the patrol car but standing on the driver's side of the patrol car. Apparently there was activity in the car that caused them to not approach initially.
