Full details on Farmington police shooting that left suspect injured
Farmington police chief Eric Johnsen said an officer originally stopped a vehicle due to a missing license plate just before 3:30 p.m.
While in the parking lot of the post office during the stop, the officer called for assistance from other police units. Moments later, after other officers arrived, Johnsen said a call for shots fired was then put out. It's not known what led to officers firing and injuring the unidentified suspect. Officers performed CPR on the suspect before they were transported to the hospital, although their condition was not released.
A blue sedan with multiple bullet holes on the passenger side was seen sitting in the parking lot near the post office building.Johnsen said the five Farmington police officers involved in the shooting will now be placed under administrative leave during an investigation. The move will be difficult for the small department as the officers make up 20% of the force. The chief added that the incident is the third police-involved shooting in Farmington within the last calendar year.
