Suspect draws firearm, shoots officer in the head while being tased
The officer made contact with a 39-year-old man believed to be the suspect who then struck the officer, Carper said.
“The officer used his Taser on the suspect, who went to the ground, retrieved a handgun and fired at least one round at the officer, striking the officer on the side of his head. The officer then returned fire, striking the suspect multiple times,” Carper said.
The officer, whose injuries were described as not life-threatening, was taken by another officer in a cruiser to the hospital. The suspect was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
There's a video at the link that I can't embed because it wants me to allow FB to connect, so...no.

"The officer was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The ambulance that took him to the hospital was towing a trailer to carry the officers balls, which wouldn't fit in the ambulance itself."
