Department spokespeople are being very tight lipped about the shooting. What they've told WAVY.com so far is the officer was serving a narcotics warrant when he was shot by someone inside the home on Redstart Avenue.

"We heard what was probably just one single gun shot. We didn't think anything about it since we've only been here a couple months," says Zack Blankens who lives just houses down from where the shooting happened.

What Zack didn't know was the bullet from that gun hit a Chesapeake police officer.

"We saw one person taken away in an ambulance and a lot of police."

Investigators say the person in that ambulance was a policeman who served a narcotics warrant around 9 Thursday night. Officials say when the suspect opened the door, he shot the officer and quickly locked himself inside.

"Obviously someone barricaded is still in the house, so we just figured we'd come down here and watch. See what's going on," says Zack Christopher, a former resident.

Using a bullhorn, the victim's fellow officers demanded the suspected shooter give himself up.

"Anyone inside the house at 932 Redstart, you need to come to the front door. Do it now with your hands up," shouted the officer with the bullhorn.

The suspect gave himself up a little after 11 Thursday night.

Meanwhile, at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, police from Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, gathered to keep vigil over their fallen brother. A police chaplain came to the ER. Outside the hospital Chesapeake police consoled one another.
