An officer, who was in full uniform, approached the suspect vehicle on the front passenger side, and was heard on body camera telling the occupants to show their hands, prosecutors said. That is when Perez allegedly fired shots at the officer.
Edgardo Perez faces one felony count of attempted murder of a peace officer and one felony count of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
The officer who was shot at grabbed his right shoulder and fell to the ground. Prosecutors said he was not struck by gunfire, though he may have been struck by the glass shards from the window Perez allegedly fired through.
