The undercover Albuquerque PD officer who was shot by a lieutenant earlier this month broke his cover and revealed himself as a police officer to a drug trafficking suspect that had produced a pellet gun, which looked like a real firearm, reports the Albuquerque Journal .
An Albuquerque police lieutenant shot Detective Jacob Grant during an undercover operation near Central and Tramway on Jan. 9. Grant is still in critical condition at University of New Mexico Hospital and has not been interviewed by investigators, but police released additional information about the case Tuesday.
