SPOKANE — A man who was shot and wounded by Spokane police on Wednesday night is a former Army combat medic who works at the city’s VA Medical Center.
Craig S. Burton, 25, reportedly fired a gun several times and yelled “Do it!” before he was shot.
The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office says Burton remains in critical condition at a Spokane hospital.
The Spokesman-Review reports that police were called to Burton’s home Wednesday night and told Burton was possibly armed and suicidal in the backyard.
