WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A man has turned himself in to authorities hours after a West Palm Beach Police officer’s close call with gunfire.
Detectives said 22 year-old Emmanuel McRae surrendered late Tuesday night in connection to an overnight shooting that sent the officer to the hospital.
West Palm Beach Police responded to a fight at a home 300 block of Baker Drive, at around 2 a.m., Tuesday.
