Chief James Lane was wounded in both arms and his pelvis. Several rounds were stopped by his ballistic vest.
Once the officers stopped the suspect, they asked him to get out of the car. A few words were exchanged and as the suspect got out of the car he began firing at the officers.
The suspect can be seen getting out of the passenger seat of a car, holding a handgun with an extended magazine, according to footage from Sgt. Reginald Gee’s body camera that was shown at the news conference.
A look at Stark's record shows extensive criminal history. He’s been arrested 25 times and has wracked up numerous charges.
The suspect pulled out a weapon and fired, striking Officer Skinner in the vest twice, the Wilson Police Department reported on social media. The officer returned fire, but the gunman fled from the area and multiple agencies have been assisting in trying to locate the shooter.
According to Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Megan Ammerman, an officer was serving a warrant when the subject of the warrant opened fire.
"Once I actually got in the room, I hit the floor. I couldn’t hear anything. The ringing in my ears had me in somewhat of shock from it all."
That's when he realized he had been hit by a bullet and left the building. The bullet did not penetrate his vest, police say, and he was left with only a red mark on his chest.
The trooper was shot six times, three of which were stopped by his bullet-resistant vest, the other rounds struck his taser, radio, and a part of his body.
A Milwaukee County sheriff’s deputy was shot seven times early this morning during the search for one of two suspects that fled on foot from a traffic stop.
