The security guard was reportedly shot in the head and is in grave condition. The police officer was shot in the shoulder and is expected to recover.

A female officer was shot on Saturday, March 20, while responding to a call about possible gunfire. After the shooting, the suspect was found firing a gun from the first-floor window of a nearby building. According to police, the suspect had barricaded himself in a building and was convinced to surrender by crisis negotiators after an hours-long standoff with SWAT.

On Sunday, March 14, a 26-year veteran officer was shot by an unknown suspect in 6th District police station parking lot.

The bullet grazed the officer’s chin and he is now recovering. There are no suspects in custody at this time.
