Antioch Police Officer Shot, Wounded; Suspect Arrested
ANTIOCH (AP) - Police say a police officer shot in the head while responding to a dispute between neighbors in Antioch was treated at a hospital and released.
Antioch police say a 32-year-old man suspected of shooting the officer was arrested early Tuesday morning after a five-hour standoff.
Antioch Police Sgt. William Dee says police were called Monday night about a dispute between neighbors on a block of single-family homes.
Dee says that when officers arrived to the scene, the man shot an officer and barricaded himself inside his house.
