A very similar vehicle/shooting situation happened less than a year ago in Bismarck

-Cops get called to a parking lot where a woman is either fricked up or having some kind of mental breakdown
-They talk to her for a while, ask her to get out of the car. She refuses
-Woman backs the van up a short distance away from the cops (very similar to what the MN woman did), then drives into one of them. He doesn't get hit directly, but it was a close enough call that he used his hands to help push off of the van to avoid getting hurt.
-Woman backs up again (a longer distance). Her van is now 30-40' away, and is no longer facing the police. Some might argue that her car has been positioned to flee, not to attack. Cops pull their guns but don't fire.
-Woman hauls arse and slams into one of the cops. He gets seriously hurt, and his life is likely saved by a pile of snow that her van gets stuck on (otherwise he would have been both slammed into AND rolled over).
-Cops finally unload onto the van. I haven't checked to see if the driver survived.
