Oklahoma woman slips out of cuffs, shoots man and deputy from back of police cruiser, video shows

[FoxNews] Rachael Zion Clay is being held on $1M bond on a charge of shooting with intent to kill.

Oklahoma authorities have released wild dash and bodycam video that shows a handcuffed woman retrieving a police rifle and firing it out of the back of a patrol car – striking a civilian and a deputy.

The Grady County Sheriff’s Office responded to a wellness check at a home in Blanchard just before noon on Aug. 12. Deputies took a woman into custody, placed her in handcuffs and into the back of a marked SUV.

Video taken inside the vehicle shows her squirming in the backseat, slipping one hand out of her cuffs and fishing out the rifle.

She loads it, aims out the window and begins firing.

Both victims were hospitalized with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to authorities.

Police initially described the encounter as a barricade situation and eventually the suspect, Rachael Zion Clay, surrendered to authorities.

#1 How is she not dead? She even barricaded herself in the cruiser for 3 hours.

#2 Why kill her? She had limited ammo and no food.

I'm sure all the officers involved in the George Floyd thing wish they had just waited him out.

#3 She had limited ammo and no food.

She's got enough 'weight' to survive for a couple of days.

#4 If I were ever elected county sheriff, I would reconfigure a cruiser as a super monster truck and up-armor the cab. We would stencil the monicker SUMMARY JUSTICE across the windshield. In the county I live in we might need a remote drive semi to deal with double-wide sized meth labs. Probably go with WHEELS OF JUSTICE for that one. Hire a kid to control it. You don’t want a boomer trying to maneuver a high speed slalom through a trailer park.

#5 Lots of jerkwater towns got MRAPS or similar from the Pentagone, along with lots of other neat toys that promptly ate their PD budgets down to the bone and made new enemies out of average joes in the community at the same time.

What's the small town copper equivalent of "Oooh Rah!"

#6 Kill her because she was shooting at the officer and a bystander who got hit.If you watch the video you will see there was clearly enough reason to shoot back.

#7 Kill her just because of what SHE was doing.
