BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Three Buffalo police officers have been hit by gunfire after a motorist fled a traffic stop and led them on a chase through the city’s streets, firing at officers from the vehicle.
Authorities say officers shot and wounded the driver Tuesday at an intersection in front of a police station. None of the officers’ injuries were life-threatening and no civilians on the street were hit by the flying bullets.
One officer was saved from serious injury by a bulletproof vest. Two people were arrested.
Police said the suspect who was shot was undergoing surgery.
