A U.S. Marshals Task Force officer is on the mend after being shot during a warrant operation in Cleveland on Wednesday morning. The incident occurred around 9 a.m. as law enforcement attempted to apprehend a suspect near East 92^nd Street and Hillock Avenue, according to reports by the I-Team.

The officers were targeting a man wanted for a violent felony, as confirmed by sources to FOX 8’s investigative team. During the operation, the suspect reportedly barricaded himself inside an apartment, adding tension to the unfolding drama.

As the situation developed, the suspect remained inside the apartment, leading to a tense standoff with police that lasted several hours. Eventually, authorities managed to bring the standoff to a peaceful conclusion by taking the suspect into custody.

In a related note, the community is also grappling with another violent crime incident involving an Amish family in Middlefield Township, who were reportedly targeted in an armed robbery and child abduction attempt.
