It was late afternoon, Wednesday, August 4th at approximately 1500 on the curve of Dutch London Street when two Detectives had previously witnessed two individuals dressed in black carrying illegal firearms - presumably involved in an armed gang skirmish earlier that same day. Both individuals were seen in a dark blue sports vehicle in the aforementioned situation which was later seen on Dutch London by units located in the area.

Units decided to stop the vehicle and proceeded to perform a regular traffic stop and call for backup. One of the Detectives had the passenger detained on reasonable grounds and had them vacate the vehicle. It was at this time the driver stepped out of the vehicle, withdrew their firearm, and began shooting at the Detectives. Other units on the scene were able to quickly incapacitate the shooter leaving them injured with less than life-threatening injuries. At this time the units swiftly contacted the emergency medical services to treat the injured suspect.
In the meantime, additional units had arrived on the scene and began setting up scene management - ensuring the safety of everyone involved. Once the medical staff was on the scene to assist they successfully managed to treat the injured suspect, and no lives were lost. The suspect was transported to a nearby hospital where they received further medical treatment. The suspect was later released and transported to the Department of Corrections to serve their sentence.
