Police identified the driver as Holly Lynn Graham, 32, of Columbus OH following the dramatic incident in the parking lot on the city’s north side Wednesday afternoon.
He opens fire through the windshield several times while clinging to the vehicle as it drives away, causing it to fall to the ground.
His companions chase the SUV and shout “get out of the car” while pointing their guns at the driver who has fled.
The same incident is shown from the perspective of the rammed officer via his body camera, showing that the vehicle hit him with shocking force.
Graham speeds away, leaving the sergeant breathless next to the debris where her tires broke the edge of the road.
Officers can be heard yelling “officer down” and “he got away!” in the midst of the slaughter.
Another officer’s body camera video tracks the vehicle on a police motorcycle.
The video begins with the Toyota Camry now parked and Graham crouching next to it, visibly injured.
The officer points his gun at her and yells “lie down, put your hands behind your back” repeatedly as she falls to the ground.
Columbus Police said the incident unfolded around 3:23 p.m. Wednesday, when officers were dispatched to the 1700 block of East Dublin Granville Road for a report of a stolen vehicle in the area.

The owner said his car was taken from Lancaster, Ohio and had been tracked to East Dublin Granville Road.
Officers attempted to stop the car in the area, but Graham fled into the Huntley Square shopping center and began “driving erratically around the parking lot,” the department said.
“While in the parking lot, the vehicle began driving in reverse, before abruptly moving forward and striking a Columbus Police sergeant,” the department said.
‘The vehicle continued traveling through the parking lot with the sergeant on the hood of the vehicle. The sergeant fired his firearm several times, hitting the driver.
It wasn’t until Graham reached the Interstate 71 northbound on-ramp and collided head-on with two vehicles that police were able to stop her.
Officers attempted to provide her with aid before she was transported to Riverside Hospital in “serious condition,” the department said.
The occupants of the two vehicles that the suspect crashed were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Meanwhile, the injured sergeant was transported to Grant Hospital in stable condition.
The sergeant has been identified as a 10-year veteran of the Columbus Division of Police, but his name has not been released per Marsy’s Law.
