The Fort Wayne Police Department in Indiana is investigating after a police pursuit ended in an officer firing shots at a 38 year old suspect, JaJuan Burley.
Just before 10 a.m., officers with the Fort Wayne Police Department Vice and Narcotics unit tried to pull over a car near Clinton Street and Creighton Avenue, according to a release from FWPD. Police said the suspect, JaJuan Burley fled and a pursuit ensued.
The chase continued until about 10:13 a.m. when the suspect- later identified as 38-year-old Jajuan Burley- stopped the car in front of a house in the 5100 block of Winter Street.
Burley’s mother, later identified as 57-year-old Juanita Gray, came out of the home and an “item exchange” occurred with her son, according to the release.
As Gray tried to go back inside the house afterward, she was hit by the car and an officer was grazed, police said.
Witnesses took video at the scene that showed the car hitting the woman and the chaos that followed.
