Multiple law enforcement agencies, including Texas Rangers, are looking for 33-year-old Seth Altman, KCPD reports.
Just after 11 p.m. Thursday, investigators say Plant and another officer were serving an arrest warrant for burglary when Altman opened fire and ran away.
Investigators report Altman ran out the back door, shot Chief Plant and fled the scene. Chief Plant was transported to a hospital in Lubbock, where he is stable.
A Blue Alert has been issued, along with an arrest warrant for Attempted Capital Murder.
Gov. Greg Abbott has announced that the state is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to Altman’s arrest.
