Monroe Police Officer Hospitalized, Suspect Self-Inflicted Gunshot After Pursuit Ends in Marshville
A Monroe Police officer is currently hospitalized with leg injuries after a suspect ran him over during a pursuit that unfolded earlier today, as reported by the Monroe Police Department. The chase, which took part on Highway 74 near Secrest Avenue, forced a closure of the highway in Union County, notably impacting traffic flow through the area.
After the officer was struck, the pursuit reached a critical end in Marshville - there the suspect, driving a black SUV, crashed and subsequently shot himself, QC News reported. The unnamed suspect was then airlifted to a Charlotte hospital for treatment as Monroe Police provided no immediate details on the lead-up to these events or the condition of the suspect following the self-inflicted gunshot.
Law enforcement officials were later seen examining the scene at the intersection of Highway 74 and Elm Street in Marshville, where travelers were urged to proceed with caution due to expected traffic delays, as covered by WBTV. Meanwhile the Union County Sheriff’s Office has labeled the situation as an isolated incident.
The injured officer is currently in stable condition and is expected to recover. Authorities have not yet released the officer's identity but have promised to provide updates at an upcoming news conference, WCNC Charlotte reported.
