Police director says wounded officer lied about shooting
A wounded police sergeant said a Hispanic man shot him and police gave a description to the public, but Memphis Director of Police Services Toney Armstrong said today that the officer was lying and that the shooter was a woman the victim knew.
The woman, 54-year-old Martha Mote, has been charged with attempted second-degree murder and the use of a weapon during a violent felony...
...The wounded officer may have been involved in a relationship with Mote and with a female relative of hers who is underage, Armstrong said.

Sounds to me like he asked for it. Of course, in a civilized society we can't go taking the law into our own hands, but knowing what I know about the way police handle complaints against one of their own, it's hard to blame this woman if the allegations are true.
