Police said they were about to serve a warrant on a shooting suspect when he allegedly drove into several Long Beach Police cruisers. Officers chased him and then shot him.
According to the Long Beach Police Department, detectives were in the 700 block of Via Altamira in Montebello on Tuesday afternoon conducting surveillance and attempting to serve a search warrant concerning a shooting that occurred in Long Beach on Sept. 25.
The suspect exited the residence under surveillance and drove to a nearby gas station, where detectives attempted to make an arrest, police said. At that point, the suspect allegedly got back in his vehicle "and intentionally struck two detective vehicles and two additional vehicles as he attempted to flee," prompting at least one officer to open fire, according to Long Beach police.
The suspect, whose name was not released, was considered to be in stable condition. Police said one officer suffered minor injuries when the suspect struck the detectives' vehicles. It was unclear if that officer was taken to a hospital.
