SAN ANTONIO — A Live Oak police officer was involved in a shooting after witnessing a stolen vehicle in a city park early Thursday morning, Live Oak police said.
At about 2:50 a.m., a Live Oak police officer said they noticed a suspicious 2016 Kia Soul in a city park during closed hours.
Officials said the suspects fled when the officers attempted to stop the vehicle.
The suspects ignored the emergency lights and sirens and continued fleeing into a nearby cul-de-sac. The officer got out of the car, and the suspects then attempted to strike the officer with the vehicle, police said.
The officer fired his weapon in response, but the suspect continued fleeing and eventually came to a stop on Standing Oaks Street near Sandpiper Drive, officials said.
The driver of the vehicle was treated for a gunshot wound, and the passenger was treated for minor injuries.
