The driver exited the vehicle with a firearm and pointed it at the officers. The officers then fired at the suspects, injuring one. The second suspect escaped. Emergency Medical services were summoned and transported the injured suspect to the hospital where he is listed in serious but stable condition. The officers recovered a black and silver 9mm Smith and Wesson pistol containing ammunition from the injured man on the scene. Investigations continue.

It's amazing when police involved shootings occurs its plenty noise in the market but when innocent young kids are shot or killed by these criminals it be so silent anyone can hear a pin drop. I say that's good for whomever was shot by the police. Question is why were they out that late during curfew in the first place. Who dont like the comment good for you and your thinking, wish you would join these heartless thugs when they're being taking down by justice.
