The officer, responding to a burglary call at 4:41 AM, was chased and shot at first by William Henry Parker III, who later sustained leg wounds and faces charges including attempted capital murder. Body cam footage and evidence at the scene support the officer’s account, and he walked away unharmed. Parker is in custody awaiting a September 28th hearing, while police leaders praised his bravery. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
