The suspect believed to have shot a Phoenix police officer was arrested Sunday at a Scottsdale rental property after three days on the run.
Law enforcement spent hours Sunday negotiating with the suspect, 35-year-old Nicholas Cody Cowan, before he was taken into custody without incident slightly before 8 p.m.
Cowan is accused of having opened fire at a northeast Phoenix gas station Thursday morning, April 14, striking a Phoenix police officer. Cowan’s girlfriend had met multiple police officers at the gas station to speak with them about a domestic violence complaint against Cowan before Cowan arrived and opened fire, according to police.
