Police were called to the Red Crown Inn off CF Hawn Freeway Wednesday morning while they were responding to a call about stolen items. A box truck stolen from a business overnight was tracked to the motel. Body camera video showed the officer entering the room. 13 seconds after entering the motel room the suspect opens. Bullets barely miss an officer fired from seven to ten feet away. Dominguez, a veteran officer who has been with DPD since 1989, dodged the first shots drawing on training and experience. "The primary officer, the senior corporal that was there, his main thing when those shots came at him, you can tell he turned and went to cover and responded and then again he didn't fire until he engaged the suspect the second time and visually saw him," said Garcia. Cortinas was hired in August of last year and had only been on the streets for nine weeks. Officers then administered first aid to the suspect. He was later taken to the hospital. No officers were injured in the shooting. Chief Garcia said thousands of dollars worth of stolen items in the motel room. The stolen box truck was also recovered at another location. The gun that was used to shoot at officers was also stolen. Osmer will be charged with two counts of aggravated assault of a public servant. Additional charges are pending. Show more
