Striking the suspect. The officer was saved by his body armor and garshard died in the shootout. He was being hunted down for a shot this killed megan doto, she and her baby died. This is the second time this officer was shot in the line of duty he was tracking down an s p when the suspect fired through a wall, today the officer was shot in the stomach and was saved by his s. W. A. T. Armor. Residents here are glad nobody else got shot. Its scary when it happens where you live but you need a sense of calmness, and the cops reacted quickly and it did not get out of hand. The officer is a 17 year veteran of the department and he has a wife and children and they have not released his name to the public before determining if he and his family is safe. Thank you david.
