Source: Albuquerque Journal

A man who allegedly shot an Albuquerque police officer during a traffic stop near Eubank and Central was taken into custody after an hours-long manhunt Wednesday night, according to officer Tanner Tixier, a department spokesman.

Police said Davon Lymon, 34, was arrested in connection to the shooting that left an 8-year veteran of the department critically wounded.

Chief Gorden Eden said the male officer was undergoing his second surgery at the University of New Mexico Hospital shortly after 10 p.m.

“They are working diligently to save this officer’s life,” Eden said outside the hospital emergency room late Wednesday night. “We are in the best place where an officer can be in this condition.”

Suspect has a long record and was found with 1 handcuff on, so obviously he was being arrested.
Guess the cop should've pulled the gun instead of the taser

both suspects pretty quickly. I also noticed the subtle snarky comment. I don't know why some people deem it necessary to always throw in a rude comment about the police no matter the story.
