New video shows the moment crazed Sydney shooter Daniel King is killed by police, shortly after he shot up his ex-lover’s house and opened fire on two police stations.
CCTV shows King, 32, outside Penrith police station with a shotgun slung over his shoulder just after 9.30pm on Wednesday.
And as two officers pull up at the station, King is seen firing at them as they sprint away.
The officers are seen running for their lives, with one dramatically falling to the ground before quickly jumping back up and finishing their desperate dash inside.

As the station went into lockdown, King was seen walking back and forth out the front, his gun over his shoulder.
Police then arrive in a paddywagon from the back of the station, lights flashing, and the shootout which would ultimately end King’s life began.
The musclebound thug is seen firing at police, falling as he is hit, and continually getting back up to continue shooting.
King opened fire on the home of former flame Stacey Taylor earlier on Wednesday night before driving away and shooting up St Marys and Penrith police stations in western Sydney.
He had told friends he wanted his death to be ‘big’ and that he planned for police to ‘take him out’.
He got his wish moments after he unloaded his shotgun on a patrol car outside Penrith station at 9.35pm.

Ms Taylor, who had a ‘one night stand’ with King, was inside her home with her three children when he began his rampage by spraying it with bullets. She hid in the bedroom until he drove off.
Ms Taylor is 27 weeks pregnant with his child.
King had gone to extreme lengths to pressure Ms Taylor into aborting the pregnancy prior to his death.
When she refused, he threatened to have her stabbed in the stomach and allegedly hired a hitman to ‘stomp’ her.
It’s understood King wanted the unborn child dead to save his relationship with another woman, Natalie, who was also carrying his baby.
Claire has said in a Facebook post that he had previously spoken about being killed in a dramatic way
King started an apparel line earlier this year and he promoted the business on Instagram with risque photos of himself
King told friends earlier this year Natalie was his fiancee, though she broke the engagement off when she heard of Ms Taylor’s pregnancy, The Daily Telegraph reported.
A third woman, Claire, told the paper she was pregnant with King’s baby earlier this year, but they didn’t go ahead with the pregnancy.
King’s friend, who did not want to be identified, said although he was ‘a bit of a player’, he did not want to lose Natalie.
‘He really regretted the one-night-stand and begged Stacey to get rid of the kid as he didn’t want to lose Natalie, he genuinely cared for her,’ said the friend.
‘He said he didn’t want to go through life without Nat, he adored her. He was a bit of a player and couldn’t help himself.’

With his love life in tatters, King decided to give police no option but to slay him in a hail of bullets on Wednesday night.
‘You had dreams about the way you would go out, you wanted it to be big just like it was,’ Claire said in a tribute to her former lover on Facebook.
As well as two pregnant women, he leaves behind a toddler and a teenage son.
Claire told Daily Mail Australia she received a final message on the encrypted app, Wickr, which purportedly said: ‘Don’t blame yourself please.’
Bewildered shooting victim Ms Taylor said had not heard from King directly in months.
In April, he had texted her threatening to take his own life if she did not abort her baby.
He refused to believe it was his and demanded she get a blood test proving his paternity.
In one message, he bizarrely claimed ‘if you want to play this game DOCS will be called and you’ll be made to get an abortion.’
The suspected steroid user added: ‘If you recon (sic) I’m on the gear you know that can make me incredibly infertile for duration of the cycle OR it can make the child of whom deformed.’
‘On the gear’ is a commonly used expression for taking steroids.
Meanwhile, it was Claire who told the Taylor family that King had threatened to harm Ms Taylor and their unborn child.
Claire had sent messages to Ms Taylor’s mother, Mandy, two months before the shooting took place.
In Facebook correspondence shown to Daily Mail Australia, Claire told Mandy ‘we need to talk’ at 7.56pm on August 1.
‘Why do u need to (talk)?????’ Mandy replied. ‘Are u going to msg … What is going on?’
An hour later, at 9.06pm, Claire revealed that Stacey had been stalked by King.
King’s father-in-law Alf was also at the property on Thursday. He questioned why police who shot and killed him fired so many bullets at King

‘About a month ago maybe 2 now does Stacey remember a white SUV stalking her taking the kids to school and back?’ Claire asked.
‘Apparently she was looking right at the car but didn’t recognise.
‘Can you just ask her that I wanna know if it was true then I’ll send you what was happening’.
Mandy said Ms Taylor remembered, and King’s ex revealed it was him in the car.
Claire then warned: ‘Just make sure she has moved.
‘If she wants to keep that child keep her away from your house.’
She alleged King had ‘made a payment to have her stomped it was ages ago’, but the alleged hitman had just taken his money and run off.
‘I was with her when he was stalking her trying to find the route when this guy was going to knock her,’ Claire said.
Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Claire engaged in any improper conduct in warning Ms Taylor of the threat against her.
Claire sent a series of warnings to Ms Taylor alerting her to King’s plans to harm her and her child
Ms Taylor and her mother claimed the messages forced them to go to the police to get an apprehended violence order taken out, but ‘it wasn’t taken seriously’.
‘We called the police. I said, I’m not taking any of that lightly. I’ve got three kids, I’m pregnant, I’ve been (a victim) of domestic violence in the past.’
‘They said there wasn’t enough evidence to do an AVO…
‘They spoke to him (King) over the phone and he made them aware his girlfriend (the ex) was just making trouble because he broke up with her.
‘My mum rang 000 straight away but they didn’t come until about 8.50 in the morning … ‘It wasn’t enough (for police) because it was he said, she said’.
NSW Police declined to comment.
