DAYTON, Ohio (WKEF) -- Dayton Police Interim Chief Matt Carper identified both the suspect and the officer who were injured in a shooting Tuesday night.

Carper provided details about the incident that lead to the exchange of gunfire about 7:30 p.m. Sept. 22 at 609 Ingram Ave.

The interim chief said Dayton Police were initially called to a Dollar General store on South Gettysburg Avenue about a counterfeit bill being passed.
Officer Thadeu Holloway, an 8-year veteran with the Dayton Police Department, investigated the incident and determined the suspect's address. Holloway arrived at that address and confronted a man as he got out of his cruiser.

That man, identified by Carper as Antwayne Deon Lowe, 39, of Dayton initially refused Holloway's commands and then -- as can be seen in body camera video shown today during a news conference -- Lowe swung at Holloway before running away. Holloway deployed his taser, striking Lowe in the back. Lowe fell to the ground and as Holloway was ordering Lowe to put his hands behind his back, Lowe is seen pulling a handgun and firing at Holloway.

Holloway was struck once, with the round tearing his left temporal artery. Holloway then returned fire, discharging five rounds. Multiple rounds struck Lowe, Carper said.

1. I'm glad no one is dead, but surely this could have been handled differently.

They had his address. Come by and get him with some backup.

Hell, call the Secret Service…I think they handle bad money.

2. Hind sight always explore options..

This office responded to the call at the store...it was a dispatch order....

[Treefrog]

3. Oh, I get that.

I just hope they learn from this. This perp was willing to die for a fake bill.

Shooting at a cop is very unwise.

[Mr.Bill]

4. I seem to recall someone else dying for a fake bill.

Not willingly, though.

[Treefrog]

5. Yes, I was thinking the same.

Passing a bad bill is not a violent crime.

Just seems they should have better procedures for something like this.

8. Dis you watch the video????

The body cam was very clear....watch the video then re-assess your opinion.

[Mr.Bill]

10. I wasn't replying to the OP.

I was replying to someone who made a comment about someone being willing to die for a fake bill. You don't need to read anything else into it.

6. Much respect to Officer Thadeu Holloway, may he have a speedy recovery from his wounds.

[Treefrog]

7. Ditto.

9. Amazingly brave....

Protected the others for safety while he struggles to stay alive, lucid.....

11. I agree

12. Dayton OH (my metro area) has a much higher murder...

... rate than Chicago, which seems to always be the focus of right-wing propagandists.

Dayton rated 5th, Chicago rated 28th, for murders per population:

The Dayton cops certainly didn't hold back when a white guy was mass-shooting in 2019. Their smaller caliber gunfire sounded like a fireworks finale in this video, starting around the 20-second mark:

So I'm glad that nobody died in this recent incident.

13. Righties hate Chicago. Most of the righties here are RWT, live in the 'burbs, and fear the city.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. Chicago and California.

It's like right-wing propagandists never update Rush Limbaugh's horseshit from decades ago.
