The Chicago Tribune<\/a> reports that Dixon, Illinois Police Officer Mark Dallas is considered a hero because he ran to the sound of gunfire in Dixon High School and stopped a determined gunman before he could injure any of the students;<\/p>\n

The officer, identified by the city as 15-year department veteran Mark Dallas, shot and injured the gunman after the suspect fired at the officer while trying to flee, police said.<\/p>\n

The suspect, identified as 19-year-old former student Matthew A. Milby, was taken into custody, and no one else was injured in the gunfire exchange, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Late Wednesday, officials confirmed that they have charged Milby with felony aggravated discharge of a weapon and set his bond at $2 million. Illinois State Police said the investigation continues and more charges could be forthcoming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The 19-year-old former student opened fire near the school auditorium where students had gathered for graduation ceremony rehearsal, the statement said.<\/p>\n

The suspect fled the school and Dallas chased him, Dixon Police Chief Steven Howell said in a news conference. The suspect continued to shoot at the officer and the officer returned fire, Howell said.<\/p>\n

The suspect was taken to a hospital for non-life threatening injuries. He will be transported to jail after he’s released from the hospital, state police said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
