They were joined by Olson outside the apartment. Terry unlocked the door, and the group walked in.
Almost immediately, the 34-year-old Dockery charged at them with the flaming rag, O'Malley said. Trying to protect Terry and her daughter, Crittenden pushed them out of the way. He then began to struggle with Dockery.
Dockery struck Crittenden with the flaming cloth, burning his head. Crittenden and Olson tried to subdue Dockery. The rag fell
on the floor and started a small fire in the living room, O'Malley said.
Dockery managed to grab Crittenden's holstered gun and shoot the officer once in the head. Dockery then pointed the gun at Olson, setting off a gunfight. Despite being struck in the right arm, Olson shot Dockery five times. In total, there were 14 shots fired between the two guns, both 40-caliber Glock pistols, O'Malley said.

I think having a flaming rag suddenly thrown on your head would screw up even the most skilled police officer. Then your going to comment on why crazy 37 year old was able to out wrestle a 57 year old officer with a burnt face and trying to push innocent civilians out of the way. PLEEAAZZEE it was an ambush, both officer did the best they could.
God bless them and their families.
