Ithaca Police are investigating a shooting that occurred Sunday night in the 200 block of Elm Street.

A man who reportedly fired several rounds at a victim, causing the victim to suffer a gunshot wound on the buttocks, turned himself in to the police Monday evening. 

In response to several recent massacres in the U.S. involving violent shooters, the Ithaca Police Department has trained its officers to respond to “active shooters” — changing the way it will face situations with gunmen in the future.

The Ithaca Police Department is searching for a 20-year-old man who has been reported missing.

Booker was arraigned at about 3:30 p.m. on Friday.

Ithacans met the news that a city police officer had been shot with a mixture of horror and shock, taking to social media in the early morning hours Friday to find a sense of community in their collective fear and condolences.

Additionally, the city has released the name of the officer who was shot by the suspect.

"Firefighters' safety will suffer," one officer said in protest at a City Hall meeting Tuesday.

This is part three and four of Friendly Fire, a series chronicling allegations of racism and corruption in the Ithaca Police Department.

A second white officer filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit last month alleging that the Ithaca Police Department committed racial discrimination. Sgt. Douglas Wright’s suit follows a separate lawsuit by Chris Miller, a white officer who also said he was the victim of discrimination by the IPD.
