This kind of stuff can happen anywhere. Even in disarmed countries.

Incredible footage has emerged of a Grand Theft Auto-style showdown between armed fugitives and advancing police on a busy motorway.
The shirtless men run wild into oncoming traffic, waving their weapons at drivers and firing shots as officers approach.
One fugitive runs straight into a vehicle’s path, bouncing off the boot and crashing onto the concrete.
His weapon spins off in the opposite direction, giving cops the opportunity to pounce.
