A 21-year-old suspect was seriously injured after attempting to flee from

At about 11 p.m. Saturday, Mesa officers were dispatched to a home near
Baseline and Dobson roads after reports of a fight. Callers reported
gunshots and the suspect leaving the area in a dark-colored car, according
to Mesa police.

According to police, no one was injured at the house where the fight took

Officers found the suspected shooter and attempted to pull him over, but
the car did not stop. As officers continued to pursue the suspect, he was
involved in a single-vehicle crash in Tempe near Baseline Road and
McClintock Drive.

Following the crash, the suspect left his car and continued fleeing on
foot. He ran westbound on Baseline until he turned and began running east
toward officers.

One officer stopped pursuing the suspect in their car and unsuccessfully
attempted to use a taser on the man as the suspect ran past, according to
police. Another officer used his patrol vehicle to hit the suspect after
seeing him reach for his waistband, police said. The officer’s vehicle
then collided with a tree.

The suspect was treated for his injuries and was then taken to a hospital
for further treatment and is in stable condition, according to the Mesa
Police Department.

According to Detective Brandi George, a spokesperson for the department,
the suspect faces felony charges upon release from the hospital. The
suspect's identity will be released tomorrow when he is out of the
hospital.
