APD Chief Lisa Davis said the victim told officers he was sitting in his car when 36-year-old Gregory Lane approached him. The victim got out of the vehicle, and Lane allegedly punched him, pointed a gun at him and struck him with the weapon.<\/p>\n
Officers later found a person matching the caller\u2019s description. Davis said Lane was about 50 feet away when an officer got out of a vehicle. Lane then went behind a parked car and fired at an officer, Davis said.<\/p>\n
Police returned fire, and Lane ran into an apartment later identified as his own. At Friday\u2019s briefing, police identified Officer Stephen Abbott as the officer who ordered Lane to drop the gun.<\/p>\n
After about 90 minutes, negotiators took Lane into custody without injury about 9:50 a.m., police said. APD had previously told KVUE it believed Lane was injured.<\/p>\n
No one else was in the parking lot during the shooting, and no other injuries were reported, Davis said.<\/p>\n
Abbott was placed on administrative leave, per department protocol, while APD investigates.<\/p>\n
Lane faces charges of attempted capital murder, a first-degree felony, and aggravated assault, a second-degree felony.<\/p>\n
