The manhunt continued Sunday for John C. Drake Jr., 38, the suspect accused of shooting two La Vergne police officers Saturday.
La Vergne Police Chief Chris Moews said during a press conference Saturday that the shooting involved two officers at the front of a Dollar General. Moews said Officer Gregory Kern and Officer Ashley Boleyjack were investigating a stolen car identified by a license plate reader camera, just before 2:30 p.m. local time. Moews said an altercation ensued when the officers encountered the suspect, Drake Jr.
One officer was struck in the shoulder. The other officer suffered bullet wounds to the right groin and forearm. Both were flown to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. A shelter-in-place order for the Lake Forest area was in place throughout Saturday. It was lifted just before midnight. However, the search for Drake Jr. continues, as TBI said he is still considered armed and dangerous.
Police released the following photo of Drake Jr., who now faces two counts of attempted first degree murder.
