ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An officer was ambushed without provocation by unknown gunmen early Saturday as he sat in his patrol car working on an apparently unrelated assault case, police said, and city officials vowed to catch those responsible.
The officer, who is expected to recover, was parked in his marked cruiser in a residential neighborhood near downtown after taking a domestic violence report on an incident that had occurred in the past. Anchorage patrol officers generally work alone.
Several men pulled up next to the driver’s side in a dark- colored sedan shortly before 2 a.m., and the front passenger fired some rounds. The officer underwent surgery and was listed in stable condition.
