Phoenix police officer shot illegal immigrant during traffic stop

PHOENIX (AP) - An illegal immigrant who previously had been deported has been ordered held without bond for allegedly trying to kill a Phoenix police officer.
Thirty-5-year-old Jose Abel Cabrera is accused of shooting the officer after he'd been pulled over in northeast Phoenix for running a stop sign.
Police credit the 22-year-old rookie officer's bulletproof vest with saving his life. The officer, who was treated at a hospital and then released, returned the fire as man who shot him sped away in a pickup.
Cabrera was arrested seven hours later at his northwest Phoenix home. Police say he denied being involved, alleging he had lent his pickup -- which was found with two apparent bullet holes in the rear window -- to someone else.
Cabrera was booked for investigation of attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer and misconduct involving weapons.
