On Monday May 29, 2017 at
approximately 11:36 P.M. officers responded to the 1800 Block of North
Eisenhower Way, Friendly Village Mobile Home Park. Officers were conducting an
investigation involving a juvenile female. At this time, details about the juvenile
female case cannot be released due to her age. During the contact the female
was placed in the back seat of a marked patrol vehicle while the officer
concluded the investigation.
While the officer was parked
near the intersection of Pitkin Street and Eisenhower Way, with the juvenile
female in the back seat, a suspect approached the vehicle with a gun and fired
several shots at the marked patrol vehicle. Fortunately, the
officer and the victim were physically unharmed. The suspect fled the scene. A
perimeter was quickly set up by responding officers and a juvenile male was
contacted and subsequently arrested a short time later.
The juvenile male was
arrested for two counts of attempted first-degree murder (F2) and possession of
handgun by juvenile (M2). The Juvenile male is currently being held without
bond. This case is still under investigation and no further details are being
released at this time. Once the investigation is complete it will be presented
to the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Investigations Unit and District Detectives responded to the scene and are

this case is asked to call Detective Brandon Rinnan with the District Two
