With that premise in mind.....The officer was married with a two month old baby.
He was shot after he pulled up behind the criminal and pinned him in the parking lot.
The suspect fired on him, hitting him in the neck.
The officer returned fire and hit the suspect in the foot.
Then the suspect approached the officer who was lying on the ground and shot him again.
As the suspect entered the neighborhood where he jumped from the squad car, a woman was leaving her home.
She saw what was happening, got into the abandoned squad car and got on the radio.
It was her real time account of what was happening that helped them find the guy quickly.
