"He [the suspect] said he did it for his religious beliefs," police officials said Friday in a press conference. 

Officials also confirmed the gun used to carry out the ambush was stolen. The gun was reportedly stolen from a home, but it is still unclear how the suspect got the weapon. 

"This is a criminal, with a stolen gun, who tried to kill one of our officers," another official stated.

The FBI is working on the case. According to police, the suspect has a long, felony record. 

After reviewing video footage of the incident, fellow police officers are applauding Harnett for his bravery.

"I can't say enough about his bravery and how he conducted himself," Police Commissioner Richard Ross said.
