One of his first shots hit the rifle and disabled it. The bad guy was injured with the shrapnel of the gun giving the officer a chance to close the distance. The vehicle he was using as cover was unoccupied as it was involved in the accident. The civilian shot in the incident was one involved in the accident as well. The firetruck on scene also took on fire, but no personnel on the truck were injured. They responded ASAP to the injured police officers for which they received high accolades from Fargo PD. A good friend of mine is one of those firefighters. Thank you Erich for your service.

Good thing to point out because there's a never ending plethora of propaganda by the ruling elite to disarm the public. Over and over they show these orchestrated, sappy stories of shootings (many orchestrated) to justify disarming the civilians. They also orchestrated the $1B judgment against AJ, a stooge of the establishment, to scare people from debunking their phony narrative. Remember folks, while ASP is all about robbery, etc., the reason for the second amendment (please re read it) is for the citizens "to be able to protect themselves when the government becomes tyrannical", and it clearly has, if you are paying attention. They cannot phase in their planned totalitarian society when the citizens are armed. They are working on destroying our 2nd amendment right every single day. They do not want us to be able to own "assault" weapons when they and their kin have never ending access to them. They also have us pitted against each other to make sure we don't unite against the real enemy. Wake up and wise up, folks.
Hearing his voice crack as he called in "3 officers down" then getting right back to work showed tremendous emotional fitness. excellent job. You served your community well.

He saw the cops and emergency people and decided to shoot them instead. This whole thing is TERRIBLE but could have been SO much worse if he had gone to the street fair to shoot instead.

But we need to protect the rights of these people to have a small military arsenal legally purchased, because that is what Jefferson and Franklin intended as a definition of freedom
I love that you made the distinction between a determined attacker and a "passive" attacker. Two totally different threats. But you need to train as if they're all determined. Not every one of them is going to flee at the first bit of armed resistance.
Mitigate generally means "to soften". I think that how the officer terminated the threat would be a better description...unless, of course, you mean the BG corpse condition.
John and Mike... this very video is the scary thing about the world in which we live today... any thing can happen at any time... it's also the reason people should carry... Stay safe out there, folks...!!
John and Mike were discussing whether the officer was actually getting hits when the bad guy was on the ground because the guy was still moving for so long. Because of the position the guy was in it looked like most of those shots would have hit him in the legs or butt. I'm guessing that's part of why the officer finally ran around the other side of the car so the guy's head was prominently displayed. That's when he permanently flipped his switch off.
I live in Fargo, my boss was a few blocks away when It happened. Absolutely insane. Rest in peace to the officer.

I'm from Fargo. The shooter was an asylum seeker from I believe Syria. He had been here a while... He was on his way to commit a mass shooting and happened upon an accident, saw the police and thought he would warm up with them first. So it was, in a sense, politically motivated. He hated people from the United States who did not embrace his views. He had red flags, he was reported to the FBI once before.

Talk about bravery. Three officers down and the cop stands in the open, without cover moving toward the active shooter. It's hard to imagine. God bless the officers involved and their families. And, God bless the officer that moved in and ended the situation.
No knock against the blue, but statistically delivery driver is the more dangerous job (THE most dangerous in America some years). Or at least used to be, maybe now that everything is going digital and drivers don't have to carry so much cash it's changing, but that's how it was a few years back.
Much respect to this Officer for stopping the threat. You are a Hero and my heart goes out to you as well as the family and friends of the fallen Officer. 😢🫡
Officer, if you read this, then please accept my gratitude. I could tell from your voice you were stressed and scared, but man you did a great job. Honestly, you need a promotion. Thank you for your bravery.
After reading some news articles and a warning to police officers from someone who knew him, it does look in fact to be religiously motivated based on his concerns for certain "types" of individuals.
They released more video semi recently, from the other three officers body cams. You can see the guy sitting in his car aiming the rifle at the officers out of his window, and they just never even saw him.
Can you imagine hearing that automatic fire and being the only one left standing and having to deal with that threat? I can’t imagine the fear involved.
If I had to guess I would say the guy saw all the cops there and got paranoid and thought his plot was foiled and cover was blown so kicked off early .
The gut, the heart, the fight, and the focus-- salut to the brave Officer Robinson, and thank you for saving multiple lives!! Hope the other two officers and bystander have recovered. R.I.P to the young brave soul who did not make it through-- !Officer Wallin.
On behalf of hard working, decent, humble people I would like to thank law enforcement for the work they do. Yes there are bad officers but a lot of them are good people. 🙏🏼
That may be the case, but it's definitely time to talk about common sense propane tank legislation... universal background checks for all backyard BBQers.
I remember this one when it first came online. Terrible situation being out of nowhere doing normal everyday things.This officer got in the game real quick like a pro for sure and played cover very well to take eliminate the threat. He saved many lives that day. He might not have gone into the day knowing he would be a hero but it was definitely in him to be one.
You guys are such great content creators. Just wanted to share my love and appreciation for your videos. You guy have taught me a lot and continue to educate me on not only self defense but you guys teach me about survival and real life scenarios. Thank you for making me a better man in regards to protecting my loved ones. God bless the both of you, stay hard.
I was in Fargo that day and drove by that spot twice . My wife and I were on our way to and from the Fargo street fair, where they think this guy was headed. I was only carrying a .380 that day.
I often worry about this. I've gotten in the (bad) habit of carrying my 380 as it is easier. My next gun up is a 9mm that carries more rounds. Then I have another full size 9mm with more rounds then a 45 . But none of them do any good at home but I tend to carry the 380. This sort of video always makes me re-think it.
@@RamblinManMotoi know this may sound crazy but i often “double carry” i have a semi-long gun in my 5.7 ruger that stays in my car, i also have my glock 43x that comes in and out of establishments with me. can never be too careful nowadays
yep, i would either way - Inalienable rights are rights that are inherent to all human beings and cannot be lost. The word "inalienable" means something that is not transferable or that is impossible to take away.
I wonder what makes a person do something so heinous.. They were there to help with a traffic accident, not enforce some law the dirt bag disagreed with.
I looked it up, the shooter was a muslim from Syria. He didn't write a manifesto or anything but I would assume this is related to US foreign policy. Since 2001 more than 430 thousand civilians have been killed in middle east wars so really not surprising some people want to come over here and kill us.

Officer, if you read this, then please accept my gratitude. I could tell from your voice you were stressed and scared, but man you did a great job. Honestly, you need a promotion. Thank you for your bravery.
Never get too close you never know and RIP officer and prayers to his family 🙏🙏🙏🙏
😢 God be with the family of the fallen and help the department heal from this loss.

I'm not going to debate you , Jerry. I'm not going to sit here and debate.
My favorite movie for like 10 years. Lol.

Yer dern tootin'.
The heck ya mean!
These cops are so brave
After reading some news articles and a warning to police officers from someone who knew him, it does look in fact to be religiously motivated based on his concerns for certain "types" of individuals.
the best cop ever.
"Oh, Geez..."
Wow. Incredible bravery and emotional fitness here.
If you slow the video down. The vehicle he was using for cover is not occupied. Driver airbag was deployed and is empty.
Rip, sad man!! Glad the officer handled his business, God bless are men and woman that defend us everyday. !!!!
They released more video semi recently, from the other three officers body cams. You can see the guy sitting in his car aiming the rifle at the officers out of his window, and they just never even saw him.
This one made me cry. The NOW of it is intense.
That AK had a modified trigger and most likely was a binary trigger.
Police found it to be binary.
@@Hillbillykaren look up Franklin Binary Trigger. You pull the trigger the gun goes off, you release the trigger the gun goes off!
Can you imagine hearing that automatic fire and being the only one left standing and having to deal with that threat? I can’t imagine the fear involved.
I'd imagine there is little time for fear. I think the emotions come after the dust has settled.
*semi-auto
Was semi auto with binary trigger.
Exactly what a crazy a$$ scenario
Very courageous officer.
If I had to guess I would say the guy saw all the cops there and got paranoid and thought his plot was foiled and cover was blown so kicked off early .
The gut, the heart, the fight, and the focus-- salut to the brave Officer Robinson, and thank you for saving multiple lives!!
Hope the other two officers and bystander have recovered. R.I.P to the young brave soul who did not make it through-- !Officer Wallin.
love the some a-hole policy!!!!
What a great message!
Thanks guys,
That was crazy!! What a shootout. RIP to the cop who didn't make it 🙏🏻🇺🇸
On behalf of hard working, decent, humble people I would like to thank law enforcement for the work they do. Yes there are bad officers but a lot of them are good people. 🙏🏼
I really love his incorporation of faith into the tactical breakdown. This is why I love this channel. Keep rocking on active self protection!
Seen this incident some time ago... This is proof that 10-round magazine restrictions are an infringement on lawful gun owners!
That may be the case, but it's definitely time to talk about common sense propane tank legislation... universal background checks for all backyard BBQers.
@@nodangles6983💀💀
but this guy probably legally owned his gun…
@@zdubbs22 "probably" is a word that gets everyone in trouble
@@nodangles6983 Don't forget the Shoulder-Thing-That-Goes-Up Licensing...
Great marksmanship by the officer!
Heard he had body armor on. Thats why he took so many rounds
I watched this a while ago.. Honestly, it gives me a new thought to situational awareness..
it wasnt actuallly full auto, the dude had a bianary trigger on the AK
It sounded like auto fire to me, but I think you are right. Sad outcome for the slain officer my condolences to his family.
I remember this one when it first came online. Terrible situation being out of nowhere doing normal everyday things.This officer got in the game real quick like a pro for sure and played cover very well to take eliminate the threat. He saved many lives that day. He might not have gone into the day knowing he would be a hero but it was definitely in him to be one.
Thank you, men, in blue
Great freaking job sir. I hope you heal from the the trauma imposed on you
Thats a vehicle involved in the crash....... good cover
You guys are such great content creators. Just wanted to share my love and appreciation for your videos. You guy have taught me a lot and continue to educate me on not only self defense but you guys teach me about survival and real life scenarios. Thank you for making me a better man in regards to protecting my loved ones. God bless the both of you, stay hard.
I was in Fargo that day and drove by that spot twice . My wife and I were on our way to and from the Fargo street fair, where they think this guy was headed. I was only carrying
a .380 that day.
Better than nothing.
I often worry about this. I've gotten in the (bad) habit of carrying my 380 as it is easier. My next gun up is a 9mm that carries more rounds. Then I have another full size 9mm with more rounds then a 45 . But none of them do any good at home but I tend to carry the 380. This sort of video always makes me re-think it.
@@RamblinManMotoi know this may sound crazy but i often “double carry” i have a semi-long gun in my 5.7 ruger that stays in my car, i also have my glock 43x that comes in and out of establishments with me. can never be too careful nowadays
@@tmg_stretxh9711nothing crazy about that.
Great work officer 🫡
I’m a paramedic of 18 years. Should we be allowed to carry, “this day and age”?
Absolutely
Of course. Little bit of extra training. I don't think it will ever happen.
Absolutely
Your life is yours to protect.
yep, i would either way - Inalienable rights are rights that are inherent to all human beings and cannot be lost. The word "inalienable" means something that is not transferable or that is impossible to take away.
Well done Officer.
I’m sorry you had to go through this - but you did the best you could given the circumstances, and you likely saved lives.
I wonder what makes a person do something so heinous.. They were there to help with a traffic accident, not enforce some law the dirt bag disagreed with.
Mental Health crisis. Same as all the others.
It made me wonder if it wasn't random, if the perp staged the accident to get LE there. Which is a whole different level of evil.
I looked it up, the shooter was a muslim from Syria. He didn't write a manifesto or anything but I would assume this is related to US foreign policy. Since 2001 more than 430 thousand civilians have been killed in middle east wars so really not surprising some people want to come over here and kill us.
Scary...
Syrian asylum seeker, who was upset by the fact Americans didn’t have the same beliefs… it is what was mentioned in a statement above.
