A Raleigh police officer is fighting for their life after a shooting incident where a suspect fired on officers from inside a residence. The suspect was fatally wounded by police gunfire.
A police officer sustained serious injuries after a suspect opened fire on authorities from within a residence, according to officials. Officers responded to a home located in the Renaissance Park neighborhood of Raleigh , North Carolina , shortly after 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, as stated by Raleigh Police Deputy Chief of Operations Rico Boyce. Upon arrival at the scene, an individual inside the house discharged a firearm at the responding officers, prompting officers to return fire.
This exchange of gunfire resulted in the suspect being struck and fatally wounded. During the incident, one officer was shot and subsequently transported to a local hospital for treatment of their injuries, Boyce reported. The situation was confined to the house, and the emergency alert that had been issued to residents in the vicinity has since been lifted, Deputy Chief Boyce added. North Carolina Governor Josh Stein shared on social media, 'I have been briefed by Chief Patterson concerning the shooting of a Raleigh police officer tonight. The officer is being treated at the hospital now. Anna and I are praying for a complete recovery.' Authorities have not disclosed any additional information regarding the motives behind the shooting or the identities of those involved
