Authorities say a driver shot and wounded a suburban St. Louis police officer during a traffic stop. Belmar says after shooting the officer, the suspect sped off but was spotted by another officer and abandoned his car. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar didn't disclose many details about the confrontation, including the race of the suspect or officer. He told KMOV-TV that the officer took “a hard hit” and was hospitalized, but he declined to elaborate on his condition. That officer captured the suspect after a short chase on foot.
