Shocking moment Florida deputy cop's partner saves his life by killing career criminal in shootout

Shocking moment Florida deputy gets shot and beaten with butt of AR-15-style rifle by passenger who burst out of car during traffic stop before cop's partner saves his life by killing career criminal in shootout
Dashcam footage shows the moment Brevard County deputies Brian Potters and Tyler Thoman were ambushed by a gunman, prompting a shootout
Shooter Paris Wilder, 38, was left dead and Potters was severely injured
The officers were doing a routine traffic stop when Wilder jumped out of the car 'with a small stock AR-15-styled rifle' and started shooting
He then used the butt of the gun to beat Potters, prompting Thoman to use fatal force to 'eliminate the threat'
Wilder was a career criminal with 40 previous arrests and the Sheriff's Office said he was out on bond avoiding another arrest when the shooting took place
The investigation is ongoing and both deputies have been placed on paid administrative leave, which is customary in all deputy-involved shootings
