Overview
- A Greenville officer was shot multiple times around 1 a.m. Sunday while sitting in a marked patrol car at the county law enforcement center and has since been released from the hospital.
- Surveillance video released by SLED shows a vehicle pull alongside the patrol car before gunfire erupts and the shooter speeds away.
- Deputies pursued the suspect, identified as 42-year-old David William Lane, to a parking lot near Independence Boulevard and Ponders Ray Lane where additional shots were fired and he was found dead.
