A suspect who shot at police was wounded Thursday night when Chandler officers returned fire after a traffic stop, authorities said.
Officers stopped a sedan just before 8:15 p.m. Feb. 5 near Arizona Avenue and Riggs Road for a civil traffic violation. The car pulled into a shopping complex and came to a stop, according to a Chandler Police Department release.
That’s when a passenger ran from the car and began shooting. A Chandler police officer returned fire and began pursuing the suspect. The officer also radioed for additional help and several other units arrived.
