In Douglas County, a police officer and a suspect are recovering from injuries suffered in an exchange of gunfire.
The events began early Sunday morning in Superior when a police officer responding to a report of a domestic dispute pulled over the suspect near Tower Avenue and North 37th Street. According to reports, the suspect exited their vehicle and shot the officer who returned fire — hitting the suspect. The suspect got back into their vehicle — eventually crashing into Superior Middle School where they ran inside and held officers at bay for a few hours before being arrested. The wounded officer was taken to a local hospital, was treated and released and the suspect also received medical care before they were taken to the Douglas County Jail.
