TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 Tampa police arrested three burglary suspects during an overnight operation that, they say, led to an officer’s gun accidentally firing.<\/p>\n
Tampa police say they worked with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office to track the suspects in a string of burglaries at local businesses.<\/p>\n
Early on the morning of Friday, Aug. 14, Tampa police officers say they saw the suspects targeting a McDonald’s before breaking into the Taiwan Express restaurant on U.S. 41 in Gibsonton.<\/p>\n
As officers moved in to arrest the three suspects, TPD says one ran out the back door and began resisting the officers. During the struggle, a Tampa police officer’s gun accidentally discharged. The department says no law enforcement, suspects, or bystanders were injured.<\/p>\n
Tampa police say the investigation into the burglaries and the accidental discharge is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tampa Police Department says an officer’s gun accidentally fired during a struggle with one of the suspects,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-371394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
