In Douglas County, a police officer and a suspect are recovering from injuries suffered in an exchange of gunfire.
The events began early Sunday morning in Superior when a police officer responding to a report of a domestic dispute pulled over the suspect near Tower Avenue and North 37th Street.
According to reports, the suspect exited their vehicle and shot the officer, who returned fire and hit the suspect.
The suspect got back into their vehicle, eventually crashing into Superior Middle School, where they ran inside and held officers at bay for a few hours before being arrested.
The wounded officer was taken to a local hospital, was treated and released, and the suspect also received medical care before they were taken to the Douglas County Jail.
