Nathan David Lanicek, 35, is being held on two counts of aggravated assault against a public servant, according to online jail records. His bond has not been set. Lanicek was taken to Longview Regional Medical Center with life-threatening injuries Nov. 17 after a shootout with police that started after police say a suspect broke into Academy Sports and Outdoors.

Meanwhile, three Longview officers involved in the shooting with Lanicek at Best Buy on November 17 are back at work. KETK reports the officers had been on paid administrative leave, per department policy. Longview Police Public Information Officer Kristie Brian said the officers would return to their shifts Tuesday night. Lanicek (pictured), was shot during a gunfire exchange with the officers after allegedly breaking into the Academy Sports Center on Forest Square. He later phoned 911 from the roof of Best Buy and said he had been shot.

The case remains under investigation by the Texas Rangers and Longview Police Department. The findings will be turned over to the Gregg County District Attorney’s Office for review and presentation to a grand jury.
