Video: TN Officer Shot, Suspect At Large
A manhunt is underway for a suspect who shot a Chattanooga, TN, police officer three times around 9:30 a.m. Thursday at an abandoned house.
Police called off a massive manhunt for a suspect who shot a Chattanooga police officer three times around 9:30 a.m. Thursday at an abandoned house, reports the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
The officer has been treated and released from a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. Police are offering a $6,000 reward for information that leads to the suspect's arrest.
The officer was checking out an abandoned house at the intersection of Mission and Glenwood streets about 9:24 a.m. when a man left the building and turned back to fire at the officer, police Chief Fred Fletcher said.
He described the suspect as a black male between 5'10'' and 6'0'' tall, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt.
"We need the community to help us look for him," he said. "Our primary concern is taking this violent bad guy off the street." The suspect does not pose a danger to the community, he said.
Fletcher said the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration along with all local law enforcement agencies are helping with the investigation. SWAT, K-9, and helicopter resources were utilized in the extensive five-hour search.
