When they stopped the car, police said the passenger got out and swiftly walked away before the officers made contact with the driver. One officer then began looking for the passenger while another stayed with the driver.
Police said the officer eventually found the passenger, identified as 37-year-old Jacob Goff-Stanick, and asked him to come to him. Goff-Stanick refused, officials said, and ran.
After the second officer caught up to Goff-Stanick following a pursuit, authorities said Goff-Stanick turned around with a gun in his hand toward a pursuing officer and began firing. The officer fired back at Goff-Stanick and hit him once in the abdomen.
Police said Goff-Stanick fell and continued shooting at the officer before eventually dropping his gun after an exchange of fire.
NLPRD officials said Goff-Stanick was then taken into custody and taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Officials said Goff-Stanick had four plastic bags of what police said they suspect is methamphetamine and a plastic bag of fentanyl. Police added that there were two digital scales in the fanny pack he was wearing.
Police said Goff-Stanick is facing multiple charges, including criminal attempt to commit capital murder, fleeing, possession of methamphetamine with purpose, trafficking a controlled substance, felon in possession of firearm and simultaneous possession.

Hundreds of tickets written to Colorado drivers with expired license plates
CBS Colorado is learning more about the one-month license plate enforcement period conducted across the state. Eight law enforcement agencies in Colorado, including three across the Denver metro area, ticketed anyone they saw driving with expired license plates. The agencies include the Denver Police Department, the Aurora Police Department, and the Colorado State Patrol Commerce City division. CBS The enforcement period lasted from April 20 through May 20. During this time, Denver police issued 656 registration violations, 276 driver's license violations, one impounded vehicle, 47 in-custody arrests, 180 warnings and one parking violation. Aurora police wrote 378 registration violation tickets during that time frame. Colorado State Patrol is still narrowing down its enforcement data, but has written more than 10,000 tickets from Jan. 1 through May 20. Troopers with Colorado State Patrol say if you wait too long, the DMV could kick your vehicle out of the system. "The longer you wait, the more problematic it is because the fees will increase," said Colorado State Trooper Rey Avila. "After a year, the license plate is no longer valid. Your vehicle is unregistered, so that license plate will not be good anymore. When you do go to register it again, you have to pay for new plates, new registration, and potentially face some fees for not paying it the year before." A Colorado State Patrol officer speaks to a driver. CBS The law enforcement agencies involved say even though the enforcement was scheduled to end May 20, they will still be ticketing anyone with expired license plates. The agencies suggest going to the DMV, setting up an appointment and getting it handled before your 30-day grace period is up.
