More than a month after being shot during a traffic stop, Philadelphia Police Officer Giovanni Maysonet was released from the hospital as he continues his road to recovery. MiguelMValle has the details:
“The car in question here has probably the darkest tinted windows I’ve ever seen,” Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore said.
Investigators said Haynes then tried to flee the scene and Officer Maysonet tried to detain him, leading to a struggle between the two men. Investigators said Officer Couch pulled out his own weapon and fired but didn't strike Haynes, Reed or the woman. The two suspects and the woman then fled the scene as Officer Couch drove his partner to the hospital, according to police.
"There's absolutely relief that we're not reporting on an officer death but it doesn't take away the anger that I feel. The frustration that we all feel," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said. "When I left my first job off of Walnut, we saw plenty of cops coming around. Then by the time I got down here, it was all blocked off and it's all on the news," Denayah Pringle, a witness, told NBC10.
