The female officer, who has not been identified, was seriously wounded in Wednesday's shooting, when a single bullet struck her in the abdomen below her bulletproof vest, causing serious injury to her intestine, colon, liver and gall bladder, and fracturing her spine, according to District Attorney Jeff Rosen. 

Police Chief Anthony Mata asked for prayers for the wounded officer, praised her partner for his heroism and thanked the community for its support.
