Authorities say the shooting happened on Wednesday as the officer was trying to pull over Sunthawon Savon for allegedly carjacking a 69-year-old man just a few minutes earlier. The suspect is due in court at 1:30 p.m. Four people were also detained as part of the investigation. Police say they are still trying to figure out if any other shooters were involved. Authorities say a pistol and rifle were used in the shooting. The police sergeant was hit in the chest in an area that was not protected by his bulletproof vest.
