               Medina Police Department Invovled Shooting  

On Saturday, October 16, 2021, at approximately 8:40pm a Medina Police Officer was involved in an incident where he fired his duty weapon.  The incident took place in Medina on NE 12 at the 7800 block when the officer attempted to stop a hit and run suspect out of Bellevue.  The suspect rammed the Medina Police Officer’s police car and the officer exited his car, firing his weapon at the suspects – no one was struck by the gunfire.  Two suspects fled on foot but both were taken into custody a short time later – no other suspects are at-large. 

 

The police officer and suspects were not injured.

 

At the request of the Medina Police Department, the Bellevue Police Department responded to handle the investigation.  The Bellevue Police Department is handling the investigation along with media inquiries.
