When officers arrived, they found the truck “repeatedly hitting a parked vehicle at the residence,” ASIRT said.

An officer went up to the truck and the driver pointed at the officer what appeared to be a handgun. The officer fired their firearm, hitting the driver in the chest. The driver tried to take off but didn’t get away.
