The Council Bluffs Police Department and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation are conducting a joint investigation of an officer involved shooting that took place at 611 East Broadway, in Council Bluffs.
The incident took place shortly after 3am. A preliminary investigation indicates that a Council Bluffs police officer, while responding to a call of suspicious vehicle on the business lot, discharged his firearm while attempting to take the driver of the car into custody.
After being shot, the driver of the car sped off the lot and crashed, resulting in the car flipping onto its roof. The driver then fled the wrecked vehicle on foot and was apprehended after a short foot chase.
The injured driver was transported by ambulance to a metro area hospital for treatment.
Names of any officers involved, and of the suspect who was shot and crashed, are not being released at this time. More information will be released later this afternoon.
