Dickman said he saw an officer surrounded the back of the bus and fire into it. He also said he saw about 5 ambulances leave the scene.
The hospital response and the intersection closures point to an active scene spread across more than one location, not a finished call. Lakewood Police have not released the full sequence of events behind the officer-involved shooting, and the report leaves open what led to the gunfire and the condition of the wounded officers.
