Her fears were confirmed when officers attempted to make contact and the suspect drew his handgun. A quick but harrowing gunfight ensued and ended with the suspect down and one officer injured. Viewer discretion is advised. The complainant, an eighteen year old woman whose identity is withheld, stated that Christopher Bowman was following her and implied that she had several cases open against Bowman and his behavior.
