The incident marked the third shooting involving police over a roughly 24-hour span, all of which appear unrelated.
The first occurred Thursday in Melshire Estates. After an armed robbery in Oak Cliff a DPD engaged in a 20-mile high-speed chase, according to police. An officer fired at an armed robbery suspect, who is now in custody, police said. No injuries were reported.
Ninety minutes later, Dallas ISD officer Justin Jones was shot in the torso in a nearby Sam's Club parking lot by a man he was reportedly helping escort from the side of a nearby highway. Jones was hospitalized, and the suspect remains unidentified.
