BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — A Lummi Nation Police Department officer shot and wounded a burglary suspect Wednesday.
The Bellingham Herald reports Lummi police found a person who appeared be hiding in a recreational vehicle while police were investigating a burglary Sunday afternoon.
The Lummi Nation says police entered the vehicle with the owner’s permission, and that the person was non-compliant and shot by an officer.
Officers administered first-aid until medics arrived and took the person to a Bellingham hospital.
The officers involved were placed on administrative leave pending the completion of the investigation.
