A Watauga police officer was shot in the arm and another had their foot run over after a traffic stop on Monday night, Chief Robert Parker said Tuesday.
Both officers are in good condition, police officials said.
Officers had pulled the suspect over around 10 p.m. near the 6200 block of Stardust Drive South. After stopping at first, the suspect allegedly drove away, running over an officer's foot before a chase ensued, according to police.
The driver eventually got out of the car and ran away on foot, police said, before he fired multiple rounds at officers when they tried to detain him. He hit one officer in the arm and then ran away.
Multiple law enforcement agencies including North Richland Hills and Haltom City police then responded for an "extensive search" to find him, police said.
Authorities could not find the suspect after a multi-hour search. Police describe him as a thin man in his early 30s who is about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall. He was wearing a red or orange shirt at the time with tan pants.
Police were still at the scene at Virgil R. Anthony Sr. Park around 7 a.m. Tuesday.
