What happened
This violent incident unfolded on the afternoon of Jan. 27.
Officers were responding to a threat-to-life call and were informed of the suspect and the vehicle he was driving. Officers spotted the suspect's vehicle and attempted a traffic stop but the suspect kept going, leading officers on a chase.
The suspect, later identified as Caballero, crashed out in the 2500 block of Hutchins Street and as he got out of his vehicle he allegedly started shooting at officers who returned fire, possibly shooting Caballero in the neck.
Three officers were injured in this shootout — Officer N. Gadson, 35, Officer D. Hayden, 32, and Officer A. Alvarez, 28. All three officers were taken to Memorial Heramm where they were listed as stable.
Officers Gadson and Hayden have since been released from the hospital. Officer Alvarez remains stable at the hospital.
