NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A suspect accused of firing at a patrol car and an 18-year-old woman faces a federal firearm charge, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Tennessee.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said 18-year-old Emmanual Orr shot at the victim in Madison on April 30. Authorities said Orr then shot three rounds into the patrol car of Officer Jeff Lubey, who was not injured during the incident. Orr then allegedly threw down the handgun and ran into a restaurant before surrendering to police.

The U.S. Attorney's office said "a Ruger model LC9S 9mm pistol" was recovered from the area where Orr was seen dropping a handgun after shooting. The MNPD also recovered a used 9mm shell casing and an intact 9mm round in the area where the victim reported being shot.

“We will not stand for violence against our citizens or our men and women in law enforcement,” acting U.S. attorney Robert E. McGuire said. “Those convicted of violent offenses, and especially those on probation for such offenses, cannot possess firearms and put citizens and our police officers at risk. Our Operation Bond Watch program seeks to hold those who do accountable for their actions.”

Orr had been charged with felony weapon possession, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, attempted criminal homicide and evading arrest in connection with this case. Federal authorities added that he had been previously convicted of reckless aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and received a two-year sentence that was later suspended to probation.

A criminal complaint charges Orr with being a felon in possession of a firearm, the Attorney's Office said. If convicted, he could face a maximum of 15 years in federal prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
