Navassa officer shot at but not hit, chief says

NAVASSA, NC (StarNews) — Navassa police officer Sgt. Scott Perez was the target of gunfire Thursday night but came away from the incident unscathed, Police Chief Preston Howell said.

Perez was in his patrol car just after 8 p.m. and had turned into Davis Creek Park when someone in the woods fired a shot at him but missed.

“It’s unnerving that these guys put their life on the line to protect people, and then to shoot at an officer out of the blue, I don’t understand,” Howell said.
