Atlanta police were investigating an officer-involved shooting Monday night that left one man in stable condition.
The shooting happened on University Avenue, near the intersection with Pryor Road, according to Officer John Chafee.
Around 8:30 p.m., officers tried to initiate a traffic stop when a vehicle was spotted driving erratically, Atlanta police Capt. Paul Guerrucci said. An officer received minor injuries as the driver fled the scene. Shots were fired by police and the passenger was wounded in the shoulder, he said.
Police made contact with the wounded man at Atlanta Medical Center, where he was in stable condition, Guerrucci said. Authorities are still trying to figure out how he got to the hospital, he said.
The alleged driver was later caught.
