The officers did not return fire, he said.

After the shooting, the man went into his home, smoked a cigarette and then came out and surrendered, Shockey said.

The man was taken to a hospital after his arrest but was released to police custody by the time Shockey spoke at a press conference at City Hall at 5:30 p.m.

He said both of the officers had been struck in the forehead and one in the shoulder. One may need surgery, the chief said, but both are expected to make full recoveries.

“I am proud of them,” he said. “They did a great job. They are doing well. They are in good spirits.”

Jones said police found a long gun at the scene. The suspect is expected to be charged soon with assault and armed criminal action.

Fox Elementary School was briefly on lockdown during the incident.

Emir Muhic, 21, who lives on nearby Dudler Drive, said he heard two shots and started running in that direction. He jumped a back fence into the trailer park area and encountered a man with a 12-gauge shotgun painted in camouflage.

“He told me to go inside, he kept telling me that,” Muhic said.
