James Gilkerson, 42, blasted the vehicle in a hail of bullets as two cops took cover. They returned fire and eventually managed to kill him with multiple shots. Police in Middlefield in Ohio, US, remain clueless as to why Gilkerson started the fierce, unprovoked gun battle. Middlefield Police Chief Arnold Stanko said: "He got of the vehicle, intending to kill my officers. We don't know why he did it." Footage shows Gilkerson jumping out of his car, which had been pulled over for failing to stop at an intersection, and opening fire on cops Erin Thomas and Brandon Savage. Thomas is heard yelling as bullets pierce the car's windshield before the two officers fire back and the gunman collapses. Cops later searched Gilkerson's car and found eight 40-round magazines of bullets and combat books, including "Backyard Rocketry: Converting Model Rockets Into Explosive Missiles" and "Homemade Detonators: How To Make Them". The two officers survived although Thomas lost a finger in the March 10 attack.
