A Pleasant Grove Police Officer, and a suspect – were both wounded in an exchange of gunfire Sunday night.
The officer sustained what appeared to be merely a grazing wound while the extent of the suspect’s injuries was not immediately available. Both were being taken to UAB Hospital in Birmingham. Police Chief Danny Reid stated, that he doesn’t yet know the exact nature of the initial call. The shooting took place just after 7:30 that evening in a neighborhood in the 400 block of Fifth Way.
The State Bureau of Investigation has been called in, and that is standard procedure for officer-involved shootings.
