DETROIT (Reuters) – A gunman opened fire inside a Detroit police station on Sunday, wounding four police officers, including a commander, before the attacker was shot and killed, Police Chief Ralph Godbee said.
The precise circumstances of the attack remained sketchy, but the chief, speaking at a news conference, said the most seriously wounded of the officers was a commander who was shot in the lower back.
However, Godbee said, the commander emerged from surgery with a favorable prognosis, "and we're very encouraged by the doctor's report."

Looks like somebody in the back had a laser on their weapon. Only shows up in the last few seconds.

Notice that even though the LEO is probably using a .40, and hits the BG
COM, the BG is still active for a while before he falls down dead.

Even though the LEO's shot placement at point blank range apears good,
the BG is still a significant danger for important seconds before he falls.
