One of the officers was struck twice -- once in the vest and a second time above the vest – and is currently awake and in the hospital, District Attorney Michael O’Keefe told reporters at the scene.
The second officer was struck in the head, which O’Keefe described as “a grazing wound.” That officer received treatment and was released from medical care.
The incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. after the officers responded to a disturbance call, the Cape Cod Times reported.
According to the town’s police, the officers and the suspect were all “shot and injured.” All three were taken to receive medical care.
The suspect was later identified by the Times as Malik Antonio Koval, 21.
