Around 2:30 p.m. on March 13, Britt allegedly entered the lobby of the Wilkens Precinct around, before walking to the back, where he encountered an officer at a gas pump, according to police.

Britt then pulled a handgun and opened fire, engaging in a shootout with other officers, injuring one, police said.
