3 In Custody After Officer-Involved Shooting
DENVER (CBS4) - A carjacking suspect was hurt and two others arrested after an officer-involved shooting that occurred Tuesday afternoon.
The shooting happened near 10th Avenue and Federal Boulevard after police spotted a stolen vehicle.
Witnesses said they saw the suspects run from police in the parking lot of a credit union. Gunshots were heard right after.
"All of a sudden, we heard this 'Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow," said witness Rita Salazar. "They were right on them and they were running around."
Police said two men and one woman were inside the vehicle that officers believed was involved in a carjacking in Arapahoe County. When officers approached the suspects, they took off running and police followed.
"At some point there was a party that produced a handgun and the officer discharged his weapon," said Denver Police spokesman John White.
The suspects were taken into custody in connection with the shooting. One of the males was transported to the hospital with injuries not considered to be life-threatening.
Police could not confirm whether the suspects fired any shots at police.
No police officers were injured.
