Oregon City Officer Chris Brosseau may lose vision in one eye, due to a fleeing suspect s gunfire on May 8, OCPD Capt. Shaun Davis said.
Brosseau, an OCPD officer for more than three years, underwent surgery to remove a metal object from his eye and was released from the hospital the following morning. Davis said that Brosseau is receiving excellent medical care from eye specialists who hope to restore his vision as he recovers from home.
Police say that the driver of the suspect vehicle, Gerald Leroy Barnes II, discharged a firearm multiple times at law enforcement officers, as Brosseau was setting up spike strips on Highway 213 just south of Redland Road. According to OCPD, forensic investigation on the piece of metal removed from Brosseau s eye is working to confirm whether the material was a piece of shattered bullet shot by Barnes.
