Detroit police have released harrowing footage of the moment a deranged gunman opened fire on officers from the front desk of their precinct house. The gunman, 38-year-old Lamar Moore, was wanted for questioning by police and had gone briefly missing before suddenly turning up at the Sixth Precinct house on January 23. Dramatic surveillance video footage shows two different camera angles of the station - the public area at the front desk, and the section behind the front desk for officers, according to Daily Mail.

The ensuing gun battle is both terrifying and fascinating, as officers display incredible courage in a bid to face down the gunman.
