Body camera footage shows a gunman opening a "barrage" of gunfire on North Dakota police as they responded to a routine crash before one officer ended the nearly 2-minute assault.

Mohamad Barakat, armed with 1800 rounds of ammunition, multiple firearms, tactical gear, a grenade, and homemade explosives, ambushed police officers, tragically killing 23-year-old Officer Jake Wallin and injuring his colleagues, 22-year-old Tyler Hawes and 28-year-old Andrew Dotas.

Barakat, a Syrian asylum seeker who moved to the U.S. in 2012, also shot a woman fleeing the scene before being shot and killed by Officer Zach Robinson.
