Woman barricades herself in deputy's patrol car, slips out of her handcuffs and opens fire and shoots cop with his OWN AR-15
Rachel Zion Clay was detained by officers for crawling around and barking in a homeowner's yard
When officers placed her in the vehicle, she broke free of her handcuffs and reached for the officer's gun compartment
She then pulled out the officer's AR-15 assault rifle, loaded the gun, and started firing on the responding officers and a civilian
She fired nine rounds and luckily an officer and a civilian were only grazed by the bullet and were treated for non-life-threatening injuries
Clay has now been charged with three felony counts of shooting with intent to kill
Shocking footage from inside the cruiser shows what happened next: Clay slipped her right wrist out of her handcuffs, reached the console toward the front of the car, and unlocked the gun compartment before retrieving an AR-15 assault rifle.
Clay can then be seen loading a magazine into the gun, flipping the rifle's flashlight on and pointing it out of the rear window, and firing.

One officer and Moses were injured in the shooting as bullets grazed them, but both were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released from the hospital.

Clay barricaded herself inside the vehicle for over four hours before she surrendered, and officers found methamphetamines in her system.

She has now been charged with three felony counts of shooting with intent to kill for the shooting and is being held on a $1 million bond.
Grady County Undersheriff Gary Boggess explained the situation, saying 'while in the backseat patrol car, she was able to get her wrist free from the handcuffs and the handcuffs were put on properly.'

'She was able to reach up on our consoles. There are several switches; one is a gun switch to unlock the gun lock, and she found it, unlocked the gun locker, and was able to receive retrieve an AR-15 rifle,' Boggess said.

'Then she was able to figure out how to put a round in it, put it on fire and she fired approximately 10 rounds at our deputies and a civilian,' he continued.

Boggess said the police department will be making changes to their procedures in the wake of the incident, including altering how their police cruisers are set up.

'One, I will say is our console. Where it actually said gun and she was able to see that, that's gonna be replaced. We're gonna put a switch someplace else in the vehicle to lock our gun,' Boggess said.

He also emphasized how rare the situation was, admitting he had never seen something like it during his time with the department.

'It's a freak deal. It's one of these, probably, I'm not gonna say one in a million. But you know, it's one of those deals that, you know, once it happens then you go back and try to make sure it never happens again. And that's what we're looking at,' Boggess said.
