A few moments later the two men start fighting, and the police officer suddenly falls backward, hitting his head on the floor.
The security camera captures the two men fighting and rolling around on the station floor.
The man in the hat is able to wrestle away the officer's gun and hits the officer with it multiple times.
The attacker then stands up and starts to retreat back toward the front door, just as another officer comes into view from behind the station desk. She approaches the front door and then suddenly jumps for cover when a shot is fired. She is then seen pulling out her own gun.
