Anchorage man hospitalized after Tudor shooting involving police
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A shooting closed both lanes of Lake Otis Parkway Friday morning between Tudor Road and East 42nd Avenue after an Anchorage police officer shot an armed man with a child, sending the man to the hospital.Anidentified the man as 36-year-old Michael Valu, who has been charged with one count of attempted murder, two counts of kidnapping, 15 counts of third-degree assault and one count of third-degree misconduct involving a weapon.
Anchorage Police Department Chief Michael Kerle said in a press conference Friday afternoon that officers responded to a report of shots fired on Bunnell Street shortly before 5 a.m., but did not find the man or child. They reported the man left in a gray Nissan Pathfinder. Officers say Valu ignored their commands and pointed a gun at them, prompting Wockenfuss to fire at him. Police said Valu was shot in the midsection before being taken into custody. He was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, while the juvenile — who police say is related to Valu — “appeared to be uninjured.”
Police later wrote that all lanes of Lake Otis Parkway were reopened after the hours-long investigation.
