The old NYPD stake out squad has a similar incident. Two officers in the backroom eating pizza instead of watching the store. Knock on the door and the pharmacist gets pushed through by a perp with a gun to his back. Upon seeing the officers the perp fires his starter pistol and the lead officer thinks he's shot. Both officers open fire with their revolvers ( 5 & 6 shot 38spl,) Perp goes down for the count. When the ambulance got their the perp sat up and was walked out to the ambulance with eleven GSW to the face/head. All rounds skimmed the skull and failed to penetrate.
