Shots Fired At Crowley Police Officer
Shortly before Midnight a Crowley Police Officer attempted to stop a car after observing a switched license plate. The driver of the suspect vehicle got out of the car and fired a handgun at the officer. The officer returned fire as the suspect ran from the vehicle. The gun fire did not strike anyone.
