Total Genius Walks Into Police Station To Shoot Cops, Forgot To Load His Gun And Got Filled With Lead Instead, His Family Filed A 10 Million Dollar Suit Against Cops

The family of a man who was killed after walking pointing a loaded gun at Dearborn cops inside a Dearborn police station is suing the department, alleging wrongful death and excessive force as they seek $10 million.

Ali Naji, 33, was killed on Dec. 18 after he entered the lobby of the police station and pointed a gun at an officer behind the desk and pulled the trigger. The gun, however, malfunctioned or jammed and a Dearborn Police Officer shot and killed him.

Michigan State Police is handling the investigation and Lt. Mike Shaw said the officer had no choice but to take defensive action.

According to police, Naji stole the gun earlier in the day on Sunday and, an hour later, carried it into the lobby. The officer was behind bullet resistant glass and can be seen on video sliding it open.

"It was a close call if he would have fired I don’t know and that will be something that we look at as far as the partition goes how exactly bulletproof that is, but his intent was to hurt someone," Shaw said at the time.

Naji's former attorney, Nabih Ayad, said the man had suffered from severe mental illness and that's what drove his actions.

This week, three months after Naji was killed, his family is suing the police department and the officer who killed him, calling Naji a ‘truly remarkable individual’, who lived his life to the fullest. The lawsuit states that the officer shot Naji in the head, chest, abdomen, left arm, genitals, and both legs.

The family is suing for wrongful death and excessive force, saying the officer didn't do enough to deescalate the situation.
