The case is moving forward against the man who opened fire on City of Erie police, injuring a patrol sergeant, in late July.

Patrick Gleba, 27, faces trial on all 30 charges including attempted homicide, attempted homicide of a law enforcement officer and aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer following a preliminary hearing Thursday morning.

Police were called for gunfire just before 5 a.m. July 30 in the 500 block of E. 22nd St.

Multiple officers were searching the area after finding spent rifle casings and broken glass. They established a perimeter and were using the headlights of their patrol vehicles to light up the area when a Gleba opened fire using an AR-15 at several uniformed officers from inside a duplex.

Patrol sergeant David Stucke, 42, was shot once in the leg, went about 40 feet to take cover behind a police vehicle and put on a tourniquet while the other officers returned fire.

Officers took Stucke to UPMC Hamot in a police vehicle, and he underwent emergency surgery. Stucke has since been released from the hospital and continues to recover. He appeared in the courtroom for the preliminary hearing.

Gleba, who was wearing a bulletproof vest and was armed with a knife and additional rounds of ammunition, eventually came out of a house and surrendered to officers. He was not injured and taken to the police station.

During Thursday's hearing, Gleba's attorney said his client did not know it was police when he opened fire. He was reportedly fighting with his girlfriend and thought someone was breaking into his home.

Gleba is being held in the Erie County Prison on $300,000 bond.
