Just before 9:00 p.m., the officer was in the 700 block of S Charles Street putting fuel in his patrol car when he heard a gunshot strike a sign above his head. Additional officers arrived and located a spent bullet on the ground near the gas pump.
The officer was not able to get a description of the suspect or any associated vehicles.
SPD Homicide detectives were called to the scene and are investigating.
