The MP patrol was confronted by a lone male suspect who pointed a shotgun out the storm door at SSG Stevens who in fear for his life returned fire striking the suspect twice. The wounded suspect was taken into custody and transported to Darnall Army Hospital on post. The Criminal Investigation Division was notified and assumed the investigation, which they classified as a justified shooting. |
