Footage shows an officer from the Fairfax Police Department pulling over Wali's Toyota Corolla before walking up to him.
The driver immediately declared he had a weapon and started shouting at the cop, ordering him to get back to his cop car.
He said: "I have a gun and I'm armed. I don't have a license.
"Go back, sit in the f***king car, and leave."
He then began yelling aggressively screaming: 'I should have served with f***king Taliban. They're better than you.'
The officer was forced to call for backup after Wali refused to show his ID.
However, the moment back up cops arrived at the scene and approached Wali's car to get him out, he pulled out his hand gun, cocked it and fired several shots at one of the officers.
The officer on the passenger side door immediately opened fire, hitting Wali with four bullets, Fox 5 DC reported.
Footage retrieved from Wali's GoPro showed how he tried to reload and shoot the cop.
He even bizarly said "Today's the day, buddy," before shooting at the cops.

But Officer Ian LaChapelle was able to strike Wali first.
Though Wali was given life-saving measures after the shootout, a local hospital declared him dead later that day.
The shootout also left two officers wounded in the upper arms and elbows, according to the media outlet.
Before firing at the cops, Wali expressed his rage towards America, which he said 'brought him here'.
He also claimed to have served in the special forces and further that his brother died as a result of his service in the video.
Wali ranted: "You f***ing people brought me to this goddamn country and I'm dying every single goddamned day.
'I can't get a job. I can't get a disability. And they took my f***king license because I can't pay the insurance. So why are you trying to kill me?'
Wali also claimed he had four children and that he arrived in the United States in 2014, the New York Post reports.
Both wounded officers were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital.
Police Chief Kevin Davis applauded Officer LaChapelle for saving his fellow colleagues.
He said: "We also realize, in this particular scenario, that we are very fortunate we didn't have two police funerals.
"His actions, his deployment of that deadly force saved the lives of the two officers who were on the driver's side of the car. There's no doubt about that."

Israel says its military has retrieved body of Thai hostage from Gaza
The country's prime minister's office said on Saturday that the body of Thai citizen Nattapong Pinta was returned to Israel in a special military operation. The announcement comes as Israel continues its military offensive across the strip, killing at least 22 people overnight, according to health officials. Mr Pinta was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz and killed in captivity near the start of the war, said the Israeli government. This comes two days after the bodies of two Israeli-American hostages were retrieved. Fifty-five hostages remain in Gaza, of whom Israel says more than half are dead. Israel's defence minister said on Saturday that Mr Pinta's body was retrieved from the Rafah area. He had come to Israel from Thailand to work in agriculture. A statement from the hostage forum, which supports the hostages, said it stands with Mr Pinta's family and shares in their grief. It called on the country's decision makers to bring home the remaining hostages and give those who have died a proper burial. Thais were the largest group of foreigners held captive by Hamas militants. Many of the Thai agricultural workers lived in compounds on the outskirts of southern Israeli kibbutzim and towns, and Hamas militants overran those places first. A total of 46 Thais have been killed during the conflict, according to Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The retrieval of Mr Pinta's body comes as Israel continues its military campaign across Gaza. Hospital officials said they received the bodies of nearly two dozen people on Saturday. One strike hit a flat killing seven people including a mother and five children. Their bodies were taken to Shifa hospital. Israel said on Saturday that it is responding to Hamas's 'barbaric attacks' and is dismantling its capabilities. It said it follows international law and takes all feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm.

Israel says it has retrieved the body of a Thai hostage kidnapped into Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023
Israel says it has retrieved the body of a Thai hostage kidnapped into Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, as it continues its military offensive across the strip, killing at least 22 people overnight, according to health officials. The Prime Minister's office said Saturday that the body of Thai citizen Nattapong Pinta was returned to Israel in a special military operation. Pinta was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz and killed in captivity near the start of the war, said the government. This comes two days after the bodies of two Israeli-American hostages were retrieved. Fifty-five hostages remain in Gaza, of whom Israel says more than half are dead. The defense minister said Saturday that Pinta's body was retrieved from the Rafah area. He had come to Israel from Thailand to work in agriculture. The army said he was taken into Gaza by the Mujahideen Brigades, the small armed group that it said had also abducted and killed Shiri Bibas and her two small children. It's also the same group that took the two Israeli-American hostages, Judih Weinstein and Gad Haggai, whose bodies were retrieved by the army Thursday. Israel said it found Pinta's body based on information received from the hostage task force and military intelligence. A statement from the hostage forum, which supports the hostages, said it stands with Pinta's family and shares in their grief. It called on the country's decision makers to bring home the remaining hostages and give those who have died a proper burial. Thais were the largest group of foreigners held captive by Hamas militants. Many of the Thai agricultural workers lived in compounds on the outskirts of southern Israeli kibbutzim and towns, and Hamas militants overran those places first. A total of 46 Thais have been killed during the conflict, according to Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Before Pinta's body was retrieved, three Thai hostages remained in captivity and two were confirmed dead. The fate of Pinta was uncertain until today, according to the hostage forum. The retrieval of Pinta's body comes as Israel continues its military campaign across Gaza. Hospital officials said they received the bodies of nearly two dozen people Saturday. Four strikes hit the Muwasi area in southern Gaza between Rafah and Khan Younis. In northern Gaza, one strike hit an apartment, killing seven people including a mother and five children. Their bodies were taken to Shifa hospital. Israel said Saturday that it's responding to Hamas' 'barbaric attacks' and is dismantling its capabilities. It said it follows international law and takes all feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the Oct. 7 attack and abducted 251 hostages. They are still holding 55 hostages, around a third of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israeli forces have rescued eight living hostages from Gaza and recovered dozens of bodies. Israel's military campaign has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. The offensive has destroyed large parts of Gaza and displaced around 90% of its population of roughly 2 million Palestinians.
