(KGTV) — Authorities are investigating after a chase ended with an officer-involved shooting in Carmel Mountain Wednesday morning.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office, the incident began around 11 a.m.

Police say that at around 11 a.m., they spotted a stolen vehicle on Telocote Road in the city of San Diego. Officers started a felony vehicle stop but the driver fled, starting the pursuit.

"The vehicle traveled across multiple freeways and surface streets before the pursuit was terminated due to community concerns," according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office.

Shortly after, officers say they located the vehicle and attempted a stop when the driver fled again.

Police say they deployed tire deflation devices on Derby Farms Road near Steeple Chase Row when the suspect accelerated the car towards two officers on an embankment near the devices.

"Fearing for their safety, one officer discharged one round, striking the stolen vehicle. The suspect continued fleeing," the news release states.

The pursuit ended at Ted Williams Parkway and Pomerado Road and the suspect was taken into custody.

The suspect will be booked on charges including assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer, possession of a stolen vehicle and felony reckless evading.

No one was injured in the shooting.
