Police fire at driver who rammed vehicles

Shots were fired by police at a driver who was ramming marked vehicles early Tuesday morning, a police spokesman said.

The incident took place at 12:44 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4, near 11th and Reynolds Avenue in Kansas City, Kan., according to the spokesman.

Police arrived at the area, after reports of a suspicious occupied vehicle. A computer check of the vehicle tag indicated it was stolen.

Officers located the vehicle, confirmed it was stolen, and approached the vehicle. At that point, the driver began ramming marked vehicles, placing an officer in harm’s way, the spokesman said.

At least one officer fired at the driver, who continued to ram his way out and fled, according to the spokesman. The driver later was captured and taken into custody without further incident.

Police are also investigating the possibility that a bullet fired during the incident struck a residence in the area, the spokesman said.

Police said no injuries were reported, and the incident remains under investigation.
