Two police officers who were first on the scene and wounded after responding to an emergency call at the Foxy Lady nightclub in New Bedford in December were given the Top Cops Award for Massachusetts by the National Association of Police Organizations yesterday in Washington, D.C., according to the organization's website. Officers Joshua Fernandes and Steven Wadman arrived at the nightclub shortly after 2 a.m. on Dec. 12 and found Scott Medeiros carrying a high-powered rifle. Medeiros fired on the officers as they approached in a cruiser. Wadman suffered wounds in his arms and hip, and Fernandes's cheek was grazed. Despite his injury, Fernandes drove the cruiser 2 miles to St. Luke's Hospital . Medeiros had shot and killed two men inside the club before killing himself.
