Police in Arkansas say no one was seriously hurt when a man opened fire on an officer during a traffic stop.
The shootout was captured in a dramatic dashcam video released by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office says Cpl. Brett Thompson stopped a car Sunday for a traffic violation in Tontitown, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northwest of Little Rock.
The video shows the car’s driver, 29-year-old Luis Cobos-Cenobio, open his door and begin firing at the officer. The sheriff’s office says Cobos-Cenobio drove off but was later arrested. He had a shoulder wound and was treated and released from a hospital.
Cobos-Cenobio remains jailed on preliminary charges of attempted capital murder, fleeing and drug violations. Jail records do not indicate whether he has an attorney.

Nothing in the story indicates this person was an illegal.
Amil Zola , the answer to your question is the source of the story: AP. Don’t t expect Fake News to paint illegals in the negative tone.
Are you saying that he was a born American. and what he did was legal?
He is an Immigrant doing Illegal things.
wow! how the police avoided getting shot and not shooting the guy I do not know and why they did not give chase, I don’t know….

Fox news claims that they were told by “an agency spokesperson” that the guy has a detainer placed on him by “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”. Though that is not proof positive that the guy is an illegal, almost always turns out that the guy is an illegal.
This proves we can not rely on police to protect us, they can not always protect even themselves.
