Officers chased after Andrew Garcia, who allegedly waited around the corner of an apartment building for the pursuing officers to appear.
Deputy District Attorney Clay Biddle said in court that the officer is recovering and"his prognosis looks good, but the longterm prognosis is unknown at this time." The round that struck the lawman in the chest hit his bulletproof vest.
In the late morning, officers conducting surveillance on the townhouse saw that the suspect was lying on the floor inside it, Shebloski said. Several SWAT officers went into the home with a police dog, finding the suspect unconscious, according to the lieutenant. Garcia has been hospitalized since Monday and was arraigned remotely Wednesday afternoon from a hospital bed.
Along with the attempted murder count, Garcia is charged with assault on a peace officer with a semi-automatic firearm, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, reckless evading, vehicle theft and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
