Wounded Winston-Salem officer's condition worsens
WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A police officer wounded in a shootout last week suffered a medical setback over the weekend.
Winston-Salem spokesman Ed McNeal said Monday that Sgt. Mickey Hutchens was in critical condition at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. The 50-year-old officer was shot in the face during the Wednesday shootout that left a suspect dead and another police officer wounded.
McNeal said Officer Daniel Clark was released from the hospital Friday. The 28-year-old officer was hit with two bullets.
The officers had chased Monte Denard Evans from a restaurant where the 35-year-old had come to confront his former wife. Evans was killed in the shootout.
Winston-Salem Police Chief Scott Cunningham said Friday that a neurosurgeon told him Hutchens' injuries are "critical and grave."
