Winston-Salem Officer's Medical Contition Takes a Turn for the WorseOctober 11, 2009 | Winston-Salem city officials say the officer injured in a shooting with an armed man has suffered a setback.
The Winston-Salem Journal reports Sgt. Mickey Hutchens' medical condition worsened late Saturday night according to city spokesman Ed McNeal.
Wednesday morning, 50-year-old Hutchens and fellow police officer Daniel Clark were shot while chasing on foot 35-year-old Monte Denard Evans.
