KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Tennessee say a man listed in a database as an Aryan Nations gang member shot an officer and is on the run.

Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch tells news outlets the man opened fire on Officer David Williams with a shotgun Thursday night as Williams attempted to stop him for speeding. Williams suffered a wound to his shoulder. The suspect is identified as 31-year-old Ronnie Lucas Williams. Rausch said the officer is not believed to have fired his weapon.

Authorities recovered Wilson’s vehicle early Friday. Wilson is being sought on an attempted murder warrant. He was added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s top 10 most wanted fugitives list shortly before 10 a.m.

Knoxville Police tweeted shortly before 8 a.m. Friday that Williams has been released from the hospital.

Shooting at an officer is a quick way to rejoin them, if he survives his arrest.

willing to take him in and shield him from justice. There are probably some right in the White House. I'm sure underneath his tough exterior as a White Supremacist that he's a really nice guy.
