Police in Chandler say a man is in custody after allegedly shooting and wounding three police officers before barricading himself in a home early Monday.
They say the man allegedly set the house on fire around noon Monday before fleeing the scene on foot. He was captured a short time later.
Police say the incident began about 1 a.m. when officers on patrol spotted a suspicious person. The man ran and then turned around and fired several shots. Police say the officer involved in the first shooting was treated and released from a hospital.
Hours later a second shooting happened when police officers tracked the suspect to a Chandler home when the man opened fire. Police say two officers were shot in the second shooting but the bullets didn’t penetrate their body armor.
