DALLAS OFFICER SHOT DURING DRUG BUST

A narcotics officer was recovering at the hospital Friday after he was
shot in the leg while trying to serve an arrest warrant in southeast
Dallas, officials said.

The officer's name was not released because he has been working
undercover, said Sgt. Gil Cerda, a Dallas police spokesman.

The shooting occurred about 9 p.m. Thursday at a home in the 9700
block of Pine Hurst Lane in the Pleasant Grove area, Cerda said.

Police arrested two people at the scene.

Marcus Moss, 36, was charged with aggravated assault on a public
servant and manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance. Both
charges are first-degree felonies.

"We believe he may have been the shooter," Cerda said.

Also arrested was Sharon Edwards, age unavailable, for manufacture and
delivery of a controlled substance, Cerda said.

Police found nearly 5 grams of cocaine and a revolver at the home,
Cerda said. Others at the home were questioned and released.

Another officer fell during the arrests and hurt his ribs, Cerda said,
but didn't go to a hospital.
