Police Commissioner Richard Ross said the attacker claimed to have been inspired by the Islamic State terror group, also known as ISIS. Ross said the targeted officer was shot three times and that it was something of a miracle that he survived such a direct attack.
“I don’t know how this officer survived,” Ross said.
The alleged attacker was identified as Edward Archer.
