CLEVELAND (AP) - Officials say a Cleveland police officer has been shot in both legs while responding to a call about a shooting and is in stable condition after undergoing surgery.
Cleveland police say a man with an assault-type weapon opened fire on officers around 4:30 a.m. Saturday and that the wounded officer was shot multiple times with one round penetrating the door of his cruiser.
Spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciacci (CHAWCH) says officers drove their wounded colleague to a nearby city ambulance and then returned to the scene where they found a wounded man inside a vehicle.
