Police officers go behind the house and find a woman who had jumped out of a second-floor window.

Officers carry her to a police vehicle, as she tells them she hasn't been shot and wants her mom.

As the video continues, an officer is shot, and other officers locate the wound and provide some initial emergency medical care.

There is video from Foxtrot, BPD's helicopter unit, which shows the suspect in the window and indicates the suspect is down.
