Photos show the extent of the damage to the Crossland Downs condominium-style apartment complex on Wire Road and Stonegate Drive that become the hub of a law enforcement activity Friday night as officers attempted to locate a suspected shooter.
Police identified the officer, who sustained serious injuries during a traffic stop of a robbery suspect, as Officer Justin Sanders, 30, from Auburn.
Gunshots pierced the silence of a chilly Auburn night. Police officers yelled to get back. The sirens from their vehicles echoed. And, for the remainder of the evening, sheets of smoke drifted around Wire Road like a thick fog after a storm.
An Auburn Police Division officer was wounded by gunfire in a shooting along Opelika Road by Dollar General Friday evening. A massive manhunt ensued. The wounded officer is in stable condition.
