SPOKANE, Wash. — Spokane Tribal Police announced on Monday that one of their officers was attacked when responding to a scene on Sunday.

In a Facebook post, they say a Tribal Officer was dispatched to Corkscrew Canyon. When he arrived on the scene, he contacted a 21-year-old male.

Officers say they deployed their tasers twice and both were ineffective.
