One man was shot by police and hospitalized, two more were arrested and a fourth was still at large Thursday after an investigation into a stolen vehicle turned violent in North Dallas, according to Police Chief Eddie Garcia.
Undercover officers were tracking the vehicle near 9600 Golf Lakes Trail around 1:20 p.m. when they spotted it in the back car port of an apartment complex, Garcia told reporters Thursday.
The officers called uniformed backup, who approached the car, the chief said. That's when he said the car accelerated and hit two nearby marked squad cars. According to Garcia, at least one armed man inside the car fled the scene.
Police opened fire and hit at least one man, who was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive, according to Garcia. A second person fled northbound, was caught and hospitalized with an unspecified injury, police said. That person was also expected to survive.
A fourth person was still not apprehended as of Thursday evening.
Two guns were located around the stolen vehicle and another was found nearby, police said.
Garcia did not identify any of the people involved, but said the person who fled and was later arrested was also wanted on a Dallas murder warrant.
