Man accused of shooting Denver police officer charged

The man accused of shooting and wounding a Denver police officer earlier this month was formally charged Friday. 

Suspect identified who allegedly shot Denver officer in the back

Jamie Martin, 34, faces four counts of attempted murder, four counts of possession of a weapon by a previous offender and one count of illegal discharge.

The charges stem from a Nov. 9 shooting where a Denver police officer was shot in the back. 

Authorities responded to the area near South Knox Court and West Kentucky Avenue after a report of a dog dispute around 4 p.m. About 90 minutes later, officers returned to the area for a report of a potential armed break-in. 

Police said the officer, who was not wearing a bulletproof vest, was shot by a suspect in a vehicle. 

The officer was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated and later released.
