LITTLE ROCK, AR - Police officers say they were ambushed by two suspects, one with an AK-47 assault rifle, after responding to a shots-fired call at an apartment complex in the 1200 block of Geyer Street.

According to the police report, when the two officers approached the main entrance of the complex, a shirtless man, later identified as 25-year-old Jeremy Ford, began firing at them with a handgun. They took cover as another man, identified as 19-year-old Cameron-Jamel Peterson, opened fire with an AK- 47. He fired more than 30 rounds at the officers according to police.

The SWAT Team was called out to secure the area but the suspects were not found. Witnesses told police that the two suspects had been walking through the complex firing their guns throughout the night.

Later, Ford was found and arrested for attempted murder. Police are still looking for Peterson.

The officers were not injured in the incident.

I am confused, Why didn't the cops shoot back? Someone is shooting and they retreat? I guess that is their training again? Stopping the threat does not come into play when the threat is actually shooting at them?

From the family of Mr. Peterson: We greatly appreciate the time you dedicate to Mr. Peterson. GOB BLESS YOU!

Obumo is still worthless, just like all thuggers and murderers and attempted murderers. Only thing this boy is going to learn when he gets to prison, is how to protect his booty. Apparently, his educated well rounded, tax paying parents didn't teach him not to play with semi-auto assault rifles with the police! He is going to jail for a long time, I sure hope his parents will still be paying taxes on him, because, I know the rest of us tax payers will. This boy is still a loser scum thugger. AR.

This child was raised by a very solid family. His ENTIRE family near and far raised him with much love! NO, his momma is NOT sitting on a couch smoking crack. NO, his family DOES NOT need the reward money. NO, he IS NOT a welfare receipient! YES his family is disappointed that he has chosen to put himself in a bad situation. His family was as shocked and disappointed as the next person when this information was disclosed. YES, his family gets up everyday and go to work to a legitimate business. This child's family is highly educated and well rounded. He will present himself and face the consequences for the allege actions that have been presented. However, only the police and this child know what happened that night and justice will present itself. About the "Obama" checks, Cameron's entire family is TAX PAYERS! The foundation that this child was raised on will prevail and all you people that are so quick to judge an entire family on one alleged event, I'm sure that it is someone you hold dear and close have made some disappointing choices. A strong family does not condone wrong, however it will stay together through the good and bad! When its all said and done, Cameron is a child of GOD and his family will remain prayerful that all this comes to an end soon and Cameron will receive the necessary help that is due to him. GOD BLESS U ALL even the Obama Haters!

So where do I start with you judgmental people. Sidebar: don't be so quick to form an opinion based on what the media prints. No, he was raised on the welfare system, no he is not a thug, no his family will not turn him in for reward money, no he was not raised in the ghetto and he is not from New Orleans. Did I cover it all for you'll? I would guess that since you'll are making such comments concerning someone's child- you'll are parents, have mastered parenting, your child(ren) is/are perfect and they would not do anything to bring attention to the family. Am I making light of what has happened, no, not at all. However, what I will say is, you should not be so quick to make comments when you don't know the story. You can raise children to walk the straight and narrow, get them professional help when and if they need it, give them love and support- it's up to the individual to make a choice. You go with what you have been taught or you choose another road. No matter what road you choose, there are consequences for your actions. I would also guess that you'll have all the answers for the problems that are affecting our neighborhoods. What have you done to help since you are so quick to post a comment here? If this was your neighbor, son, brother, cousin, grandchild or someone you have a relationship with- would you have the same views and comments? You see how tacful this comment is- this is foundatin that he was raised on, unfortunately, he has gone down the wrong path. The path that he chose is not the result of bad parenting. So the next time you decide to let your fingers do the talking, consider whether your comment is harmful or helpful.

why do his mama have to be on welfare, and why is this a bad result of parenting? You can raise your child up with morals and goals in life its up to them to take what you have taught them and make productive citzens out of themselves. Any child can get influence by the streets.
