CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. (myfoxatlanta.com) -- A burglary suspect is in the hospital after a Riverdale police officer shot him.

Police say the suspect broke into the Foot Locker on Highway 85 Tuesday morning.

Police responded to a burglary call around 5:00 a.m. and found a silver Escort station wagon parked next to the back wall of the building.

Police say the back wall had a huge hole broken through the wall, and the vehicle was filled with various items in boxes.

Two suspects ran away, and one police officer drove his squad car closer to the station wagon without realizing a third suspect was inside the vehicle.

The suspect then hit the gas, which pinned the officer between the two vehicles.

Then, the officer opened fire and shot seven rounds, five of which hit the suspect.

The suspect suffered two shots to the chest, two the neck, and one to the right arm.

The suspect was airlifted to Atlanta Medical Center in stable condition. The officer is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Police are still searching for the two other missing suspects.

If you watch the video, the burglar has an 'Obama 08' bumper sticker. Imagine if it had been an NRA bumper sticker and a gun had been used in the crime

I guess he’s a registered Democrat then. Probably means, alive or dead on election day, he’ll be placing his vote for Obama. Some Democrat will probably consider it their civic duty to vote for him.

(Actually, he probably has a higher probability of casting a ballot if he’s dead.)

Excuse the course, unsympathetic, and out of line, sarcastic humor. I only had two cups of coffee and am still grouchy. ;-)

That suspect is either very lucky or the officer needs to consider a caliber that starts with a "4". How this guy wasn't DRT, I can't begin to understand.

So??? If Ted Bundy had a sticker for a republican politician on his beetle, it would not have meant squat either.

Don't have a picture of Ted Bundy endorsing any Republican.

Will this picture of Jimmy Carter's wife with John Wayne Gacy do?

I think there is also one of Jimmy and Ted (not shaking hands, but with Bundy dressed in American Revolutionary costume). And this was in the years he was actively murdering boys.

John McCain will want the headline edited and the video edited to remove any references to Honorable Senator Osama, er, I mean Obama.

The burglars were just getting an early start on Obama’s promise to redistribute the wealth in America.
