PHOENIX — A suspect in a “beer run” was shot minutes later after a brief pursuit and confrontation with a Phoenix police officer.
Police spokesman Sgt. Andy Hill says the suspect’s pickup crashed into a wall in a neighborhood near 17th Avenue and Baseline after an officer spotted the vehicle.
Hill says there was a confrontation between the suspect, who was armed, and the officer after the suspect got out of the truck and the suspect was shot.
The officer wasn’t hurt. The suspect was taken to a hospital.
