Dustin Goudschaal, a six-year veteran of the Vancouver Police Department, stopped a black pickup truck believed to be stolen Monday. That's when suspect James Sapp leaned out the driver's side window and opened fire, police said.

A witness came to Goudschaal's aid and bandaged a wound on his neck before paramedics could arrive.
