UPDATE 9:45 a.m. 11/01:

Pima County Sheriff's Department issued a news release on the shooting investigation on Tucson's far east side.

In the release, PCSD said deputies observed a vehicle committing a traffic violation at South Houghton Road and East Tanque Verde Road at shortly after 3:45 p.m., Oct. 31.

Deputies attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle took off, almost hitting a deputy, as it headed south on Houghton, the news release said. Deputies lost sight of the vehicle.

They relocated the vehicle at a convenience store at South Houghton and East Drexel Road. The suspect vehicle hit multiple vehicles in the parking lot before heading northbound on Houghton Road, the news release said.

Two additional crashes involving the suspect vehicle were reported via 9-1-1 at nearby intersections, the news release said.

Deputies found the vehicle again in a neighborhood near East Old Spanish Trail and South Galileo Lane. The suspect fled in the car once more. During the interaction, a deputy discharged a department-issued handgun, the news release said.

Deputies were able to immobilize the suspect vehicle, causing it to come to a stop inside the entry of the Rocking K Ranch Community.

The suspect was taken into custody without further incident. No deputies or community members were injured.

The suspect, a teen male, was treated at the scene for minor
injuries.

UPDATE:

The Pima County Sheriff's Department says no one was hurt in Thursday night's officer involved shooting.

In a statement to KGUN 9, PCSD said there were no outstanding suspects.

UPDATE:

KGUN 9 reporters on the scene say Galileo is closed in both directions, which leads into residential neighborhoods. Old Spanish has zero open restrictions.
