Newly released security footage shows the dangerous moments two police officers were violently attacked inside a Wal-Mart in April.

The assailant 24-year-old Mitchell Oakley had been asked to leave a McDonald’s when he refused employees notified police to remove him for trespassing.

Oakley had just been released from prison a year earlier for attempted aggravated assault and other charges.

Once Officer Joshua Pueblo joined Officer Daniel Colwell, both from Chandler Police Department, that’s when mayhem broke loose. Oakley pulls a firearm and begins firing upon the officers. He critically wounded Officer Pueblo, but was able to gain cover.

Colwell dives and tumbles, crashing through a display sign and opens fire on Oakley. He eventually guns him down, stopping him cold.

Watch:

Thankfully, both officers were not killed. Unfortunately, Officer Pueblo was seriously injured but he is now recovering.

Here’s how he described the incident, “All I see was blood. I didn’t know what exactly was wrong. I didn’t know how much blood I was losing, or if I was going to make it. So there were definitely thoughts of family.”

We are praying for both officers that they will have a speedy recovery!

Share if you are glad these officers took this violent criminal down!
