MPD Spokeswoman Sgt. Karen Rudolph says, officers received a call from the manager at the Jennifer Woods Apartments reporting a possible break in into an apartment. The suspects left the complex and the manager followed them in another vehicle.

Officers caught up with the suspects at the Gardenwood Apartments, less than two miles away.

Police say the suspects were moving stolen items from one vehicle to another when an MPD squad car pulled up..

According to police, two of the suspects jumped into a car and tried to run over the officers.

One officer opened fire, hitting the two suspects. One suspect was killed and the other was taken to The MED in extremely critical condition.

it is a shame that the police cannot simply shoot a fleeing felon. they should not have to be in a life threatening situation before resorting to their sidearm. people like these crooks are nothing more than cockroaches in society - the fewer the better.

I seriously doubt that these thieves tried to run over the officers. It's a lot more likely that they were simply trying to get run away. However, I hope that other potential criminals are following this story so that they can understand just how serious it is when an officer to points a gun at you and gives you a warning. MPD isn't playing any games.

Good God....whatever happened to "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" ? The big policeman should have enough sense to get out of the way of a moving vehicle!

Why did he shoot the passenger? Why were they burglarizing someone's home in the first place? Find the third wanna-be-thuglett and shoot him too.
