Latest update on officer involved shooting: At approximately 9:30 PM we received a call in reference to a homicide on Augusta Ct. and while officers and detectives were on scene, there was an officer involved shooting at the front of the law enforcement center, which took place at approximately 10:20 PM. There was a male that came to the front doors of the police department and was not able to gain entry, due to the doors being locked after hours. He then took his shotgun and discharged it at the door, shattering it and the glass that the officer was sitting behind. The officer at the desk was not injured. The officers called for emergency back up and a downtown officer responded to the front parking lot and engaged the suspect as he was walking away from the building. The officer told the suspect to drop his weapon and the suspect discharged the shotgun at the officer, striking him in three different places. The officer discharged one round at the suspect, however it does not appear that he was struck. The suspect then appeared to have taken his own life with a self inflicted gunshot wound. At this point, we believe that the shooting suspect at the Law Enforcement Center was involved in the homicide that took place on Augusta Ct.
