This incident began when a neighbor called 911 for a strange car parked in their driveway in the 7200 block of Fawn Crossing Dr., in Clarksville.

Officer Frasier, a 10-year veteran of HCPD, called a tow truck, but the driver of the suspicious car, Dorsey, approached the officer and told her he was that was his car.

That's when she discovered Dorsey was a wanted man.

Dorsey then got in the car, and drove. He first hit the tow truck, and then is accused of driving towards the officer.

That's when Frasier opened fire, hitting Dorsey.

Frasier is on standard administrative leave during the investigation.
