"Jailson Andrade, 44, was arraigned Tuesday in Brockton District Court on 14 charges, including two felony counts each of assault to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and carrying a firearm without a license."
"Andrade allegedly slowed down at first, but then sped up, blowing past several stop signs and reaching estimated 70 mile-per-hour speeds in a 30 mile-per-hour zone."
"When the officers approached his car, they saw him reach for a possible weapon. Andrade allegedly ignored one of the officer's commands to stop reaching, got out of the car, brandished a firearm, and began firing over the roof of the Lexus."
"The officers returned fire and struck him once in the shoulder. After the Brockton officers restrained Andrade, more officers arrived on the scene."
Jailson Andrade, 44, was arraigned on 14 charges following a shootout with police officers during an attempted traffic stop.

Upon officers' approach, Andrade brandished a firearm and fired at them, resulting in officers returning fire and injuring him. He is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing.
