A Colorado man is in critical condition on Wednesday after he used an AR-15 assault rifle to fire at an officer and then was shot himself.
A Longmont Police Department press release obtained by the Coloradoan said that the 36-year-old police officer had stopped the suspect at about 2:15 a.m. on Tuesday for driving without headlights.
The suspect got out of his vehicle and advanced on the officer and began firing multiple rounds at the officer with an AR-15-style rifle, the statement said.
The officer returned fire, hitting the man three or more times. The department said that the officer had not been injured in the shoot out.

This just happened recently when another crazy dude opened fire with his AR-15 on police after he was pulled over.
I guess they're just protecting themselves against gubment tyranny.

My money is on the cop with the AR-15
