MoszerSchumacher-2FARGO  (AP)  – Police have identified the man suspected of shooting a Fargo police officer as  49-year-old Marcus Schumacher (SHOO’-maw-kur).

Authorities say Schumacher held police at bay for about 11 hours, from late Wednesday evening to early Thursday morning, firing numerous rounds at law enforcement. The injured officer, Jason Moszer, died about 12:45-p.m., Thursday. 

Moszer was the first Fargo officer to die in the line of duty in more than a century.
Court documents show that Schumacher has a previous conviction for disorderly conduct in January 2013. He received a 30-day suspended jail sentence and served a year of probation. No further details were immediately available.

The standoff began Wednesday evening when police responded to a domestic violence report.

Police Chief David Todd says a SWAT team entered the Fargo home shortly before dawn Thursday and found his  body. Todd says he doesn’t know if the suspect was hit in an earlier exchange of gunfire with a SWAT officer or if he shot himself.   More updates at WDAY.
