Escondido police reported that a suspect was shot by an officer outside a market in Escondido, late Saturday night.
The incident originally began when a woman called EPD claiming that her boyfriend had stolen her vehicle outside 220 E. El Norte Parkway sometime before 11 p.m., police said.
The man reportedly took her keys and then drove off in the car.
The woman followed the suspect in another vehicle to 120 W. El Norte Parkway where she called 911 to give the authorities her boyfriend’s location, according to police.
An officer responded to the scene and sometime later shot the suspect.
It’s unclear what sparked the shooting but a news cameraman at the scene said the suspect tried to hit the officer's car with the vehicle his was in.
The suspect was taken to an area hospital where he was listed in stable condition.
The officer’s name as well as the suspect’s injuries were not immediately known.
