    The following incident took place early Thursday, the 29th of July at around 1300. Officers in the area of El Burro Heights witnessed a gray pickup that was occupied by four people being driven in an erratic manner. Officers paced the vehicle to a nearby gas station where they stopped - the driver and passenger had switched seats and shortly thereafter left the gas station. The vehicle of interest continued to breach numerous traffic laws before Officers initiated a traffic stop, blaring their sirens and flashing their lights at the pickup truck.

    Officers that initiated the stop called for additional units to their location due to the driving of the suspect, the number of individuals in the vehicle, and the previously raised suspicion. As the initiating Officers were conducting the traffic stop they discovered that the passenger of the vehicle who was originally the driver of the vehicle before switching seats at the aforementioned gas station had a suspended driver's license. Officers instructed the passenger to step out of the vehicle as he was being placed under arrest for driving with a suspended license.

    At this point, one of the other passengers of the vehicle got into the driver seat of the pickup truck before Officers saw that the individual in mind was visibly armed. The now new driver turned the vehicle on as supporting units attempted to de-escalate the situation and persuade the driver into exiting the vehicle. The driver refused to exit the vehicle and attempted to flee the scene by hitting an Officer with the pickup truck in the process. Officers were quick to react as they discharged their standard-issue firearms toward the rear of the vehicle, hitting two tires. The almost disabled vehicle continued to evade before a supporting unit performed a pursuit intervention maneuver - bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.

    With the vehicle now inoperable, the driver of the vehicle exited the pickup truck and opened fire toward units on the scene - Officers returned fire and were able to successfully injure the suspect, ultimately eliminating the threat. Officers immediately began providing medical treatment to the suspect as medical services were notified and on the way. The suspect succumbed to injuries despite the best efforts of the Officers providing medical treatment.

    The other three suspects at the scene gave up peacefully and the appropriate charges were brought up. Units on the scene took on the task of transporting the suspects to the Department of Corrections as coroners made their way to the initial scene. No damage to public property was reported, with an Officer sustaining minor injuries after being hit by the suspect vehicle.
