Tremont Wright Released From Hospital After Police Involved Shooting

 

Tremont Wright, who was wounded early Sunday after a high speed chase with Salisbury Police, has been released from the hospital.

Police fired on the 21 year Princess Anne resident after he backed his vehicle toward two officers who were attempting to stop him for erratic driving.

He is currently charged with two counts each of attempted second degree murder, first degree assault, and reckless endangerment.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the names of the two police officers, who fired their weapons, are being withheld at the request of the Salisbury Police Department.
