According to Fox News, the undercover police officer was shot three times, including once in the face, by 19-year-old Kevin Rojas during a 2016 traffic stop. The officer was taking his son to school at the time.
The source informed that, fortunately, the son was not injured. The critically wounded officer, who was not named by the local sources, returned fire but did not hit Rojas.

“I will take those bullets instead of a fellow officer and an innocent bystander,” the officer said, according to the Florida Times-Union. “When I brought the fight back to you, you ran like a coward.”
After this, he further mocked Rojas by producing a tube of K-Y Jelly and telling him that he would “need a lot” of it in prison.
However, the officer has refused to make any comment on the allegation after he was questioned by a judge in a 30-minute hearing about the stunt.
According to the supervisors of the officer, the incident was well acknowledged by the authorities. They stated that they were aware of the incident and will address it.
