Atlanta police say
they arrested a man suspected of stealing a vehicle, after officers chased him
into a hospital and one of them fired his gun.
When officers
responded to a report of a possible stolen vehicle around 12:30 p.m. Friday, a
person told them the suspect was fleeing from a nearby apartment, police said.
Officers found him nearby and saw that he had a gun as he fled on foot.
An Atlanta police
officer reportedly fired his gun inside a hospital Friday while pursuing a
vehicle theft suspect.
As officers
pursued him, the man ran inside Emory University Hospital in the Midtown
neighborhood. Officers confronted the man inside the hospital and one officer
fired his gun, police said.
No one was hit by
the gunfire and officers took the man into custody without further incident,
police said.
An investigation
was ongoing, and police did not immediately release the man's name or any
charges he faces.
