We have learned that one Polk County officer was injured in the standoff but, police have refused to discuss the nature of his injuries or how he was injured. We have confirmed with our sources that Captain Kenny Dodd with the Polk County PD was shot at in the incident but it is unsure if Dodd was the injured officer.  Dodd’s car was supposedly struck several times by bullets From Couch’s weapon.
