Authorities say a police officer shot and killed a suspect who had shot him in the right shoulder at a West Palm Beach apartment complex.
The fatal shooting happened shortly after 10 p.m. Monday after police received reports from gas station about a man who had been shot in the face. The wounded man told officers he had been shot at the nearby Springbrook Commons complex and ran to the gas station for help.
ABC affiliate WPBF reported the alleged shooter opened fire when the two officers went to the apartment complex to investigate.
Police spokesman Allan Ortman says the officer returned fire, killing the suspect. He says the officer's injuries are not life-threatening.
The suspect's name was not released. Police continued investigating the incident early Tuesday.
