Just confirmed through news story — apparently the officer was alone. A citizen witness used the officer’s radio to call for help.
Ironic that the mayor was at the initial news conference last night — rumor has it he is responsible for the one officer per patrol car policy.
I still haven’t seen a description of the suspect in news stories. But I know the suspect is a six foot black male in his early 20’s.
six foot black male in his early 20’s — with dreadlocks.
