Some of you may remember this one that was posted here on NES years ago. There was a healthy discussion of shooing through the window then. I realize that in this scenario the cops were stationary and the suspect was on foot.

Warning Graphic ! Gunman Opens Fire on Police with AK47 & Gets Shot Dead
Authorities released terrifying footage of an armed madman shooting up a patrol car in Middlefield, Ohio, turning a routine traffic stop into a combat zone.
Local police told reporters on Friday that they still have no clue why James Gilkerson fired 37 shots at two officers using an AK-47 style assault rifle after the officers pulled him over on March 10, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported.
'He got of the vehicle, intending to kill my officers. We don't know why he did it,' said Middlefield Police Chief Arnold Stanko.The two officers, Erin Thomas and Brandon Savage, returned fire and killed Gilkerson, 42, piercing him with multiple shots.
In the video, Gilkerson can be seen jumping out of his car, which had been pulled over for failing to stop at an intersection, according to the News-Herald, and opening fire on Thomas and Savage.Thomas, who was reportedly outside the patrol car on the driver's side, can be heard giving a surprised yell as bullets berate the car's windshield during the unprovoked shootout.
Savage fired back through his own windshield as he and Thomas took down the psychotic gunman.
