Watch: Driver Opens Fire on Police
An angry driver opened fire on officers in Fairfax, Virginia.
The US police released video footage showing what happened and the moment the shots were fired at the officers.
In a statement accompanying the video, the Fairfax County Police Department described the incident as an "attempted murder," noting that it ended with the driver's death.
According to the details of the incident, when a police officer stopped a man named Jamal Wali (36 years old) for speeding, it was found that his safety inspection sticker had expired.
The situation escalated when Wali began yelling and cursing, refusing to give his name and claiming he had no driver's license or license plate.
While the officer tried to de-escalate the situation, Wali launched into a tirade filled with profanity about how he was being treated. He said he had contributed a lot to the United States after working as a translator for US forces in Afghanistan. He shouted at the officer: "I should've served with the Taliban."
