Police say Odufuwa pointed her gun at an innocent bystander before firing at an officer who took cover. She was shot in the leg.

Police say Odufuwa has been prohibited from owning a firearm since 2018 because of a prior criminal history that includes arrests for bank robbery, arson and false reporting. She also has a history of mental health evaluations following arrests.

Odufuwa is charged with aggravated assault of a public servant. A bond has not been set.

No one else was injured.
