PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A spokesman for the Milwaukie Police Department says an officer suffered a non-life-threatening injury in a shooting near the Milwaukie Safeway.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports the shooting occurred shortly before 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Police spokesman Brad Walther says the officer tried to stop a man who was walking. The man matched the description of an armed man reported in an earlier call.
The officer tried to stop the man and deployed a stun gun. Moments later, the officer and the man exchanged shots two blocks away.
Other officers found the shooting suspect nearby hiding under a truck and trailer. They used a stun gun to take him into custody.
The Clackamas County major crimes team is leading an investigation into the shooting.
