"You bring harm to our community, there’s no place that we’ll not go to go find you," said Norman.

Authorities saw the wanted individual, along with two others, leaving a hotel. As an officer approached them, Norman said the group got into a car and tried to flee – hitting the officer and pinning him against a police truck.

The officer then fired shots and hit two people – a 20-year-old man and an 18-year-old man – one of whom was the wanted individual. All three were hospitalized and are expected to survive.

The third person, a 19-year-old man, ran off but was soon arrested. A gun was recovered.
