ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Police are still searching for a suspect who shot an officer Saturday night.
Officer Jeremy Nash, 36, and other officers were responding to an unrelated 911 call when the shooting occurred, WGRZ reported. Police Chief Michael Ciminelli said Nash was shot near the face. His injuries were not considered life-threatening and he is in stable condition, the Democrat & Chronicle reported.
Police did not release a description of the suspect, but are asking the public to call 911 or Crime Stoppers if they have any information about the shooting.
Chief Ciminelli told the Democrat & Chronicle they are investigating whether or not the officers were targeted.
“Under the circumstances, it’s certainly something we have to take into consideration as we conduct our investigation,” he said. “At this point, I’m going to put my personal beliefs aside and we’re going to look for evidence and facts and we’ll go wherever it leads us.”
