Dillingham Police Department Chief Dan Pasquirello provided an update at Thursday’s City Council meeting on the February shooting incident.
In a staff report, Pasquirello says that he and officer Daniel Gonzalez-Fawcett responded to a ditched vehicle belong to Daniel Wahl. They attempted to make contact with Wahl using a PA system and cell phone. Wahl allegedly refused to respond and began firing with a handgun out of the windows of his vehicle.
Police then contacted state troopers for assistance and made a second attempt to speak with Wahl, before he began firing at law enforcement from his back window.
