An officer went up to the truck and the driver pointed at the officer what appeared to be a handgun. The officer fired their firearm, hitting the driver in the chest. The driver tried to take off but didn’t get away.
The driver was arrested about 1.5 hours later when a tactical team arrived. They suffered a gun shot wound to the chest and were taken to hospital
