MIAMI – A Miami-Dade police officer was shot and transported to the hospital in critical condition early Friday morning. The crime involved a recently terminated female officer who is accused of firing at the male, striking him in the head. Officials are referring to the shooting as domestic violence.
The critically wounded officer has not been identified. He had been in a relationship with the woman accused in the shooting, a former Miami-Dade Schools officer, the New York Post reported.
The male officer was off-duty in Hialeah when he was shot. The suspect has been taken into custody, Miami-Dade Police (MDPD) said.
