Police responded at 6:15 a.m. and found one of the shooters, Salas-Paz, wounded.
The injured officer then got out of the truck and started to shoot at the suspect, Clark said, „to try and scare him into surrendering or surrendering to us.“ The victim, an officer in protective gear who had just arrived, shot the attacker, Clark said.
The attack drew a heavy police presence that i카지노사이트ncluded about five off카지노 사이트icers, said Clark, who declined to give his rank.

„If he was a member of the neighborhood, we don’t know whether they knew he was in their midst,“ he said.
The suspect was arrested about 6:30 p.m. and transported to a hospital with gunshot wounds, said Salas-Paz, the officer said.
The officers on scene told officials the attack, which did not cause any injuries, was an isolated incident, he said.
„We didn’t get in another incident like that today,“ Clark said.
Clark said the shooter approached the scene at a high rate of speed as officers approached their car.
About eight to 10 officers responded, and each member had their guns raised, Clark said.
Clark, the department spokesman, described the shooting as a „violent“ event that involved three or four shots.
The shooter, who Clark said was about 6 feet tall, got out of his vehicle and shot at several individuals.
While police are „not ready to speculate“ what may have motivated the shooter, Clark said, „there’s something that may have led to the action.“
Clark said officers at the scene „did what they could“ but noted that officers were still involved.
