FPD says just after midnight, an officer was responding to a call of shots fired on the 300 block of 7th Avenue in Fairbanks.
“As multiple calls came in to the Dispatch Center,” FPD said in a Sunday press release, “a responding officer radioed that he was shot.” The suspect then left the scene in the officer’s patrol car, but abandoned it a few blocks away.
He’s described as an Alaska Native man in his 20s wearing a dark jacket, dark pants, and a knit hat.
