According to the caller, the male was pointing the gun at houses. At approximately 7:11 p.m. a responding officer located the subject matching the caller’s description, walking on Brittain Rd. and Ottawa. The officer stopped his marked police car to investigate. As the officer began to exit his patrol car, he quickly issued a verbal command for the male to show his hands. Seconds later, the officer discharged his firearm one time, striking the male in the hand, after observing the subject with what appeared to be a gun in his hand. Immediately following the shooting, officers secured the crime scene and rendered emergency first aid, which included applying a tourniquet to the male’s arm. The subject was later transported to an area hospital and underwent treatment for a non life threatening injury. The officer is a 9-year veteran of the department and is on paid administrative leave. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Special thanks to Shout-Out Supporters on Patreon: - ’DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse’ - Jesse Andrus - Tyler Urban - Josef Rex - ’VALMA’ - Sabrina Bewey - Kelly Goodwin - Anthony Martinez - ’wuzy’ - Shane AL Walker - ’Jun’ - ’Xenik’ - ’Rom’ - kyle McBurnett - ’Fishy Tuna’ - ’GotsNoGroove Cheryl’ - ’CombatKid’ - Exus Altimus - Mateusz Adam Katana - ’Dawesenm’ - Paul Rohrbaugh - Sandra McGreevy - ’Krazy KZ’ - Koby Bland - Christopher Payne - Zach Williams - Michael R Sheffield - Rich Biggs - ’JTrip’ - Brant Eaton - ’wvot’ - James Pringle - ’’ - Meighan Garrick - ’Sopaul’ - Lisa Overly - Connor Davies - ’Necko’ - Gerardo Flores - Anthony Eufemio - ’Donkbot’ - Gage Kissinger - ’coco Coco’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Support us on Patreon: Follow us on Twitter: - Links to the Best Dash Cams you can buy.
