While investigating where the shots came from, officers saw a masked suspect carrying a rifle. MPD says he fled on foot. An officer tried to stop him and gave numerous commands to drop the weapon. He did not comply, and the officer discharged his duty weapon, striking him. A rifle was recovered next to the suspect.
