A Cincinnati police officer was shot while responding to a domestic violence incident and shot a suspect in an exchange of gunfire early Sunday, a police spokesman said.

The incident happened in the 2600 block of Gilbert Avenue about 12:30 a.m.

“An individual’s description was given, as the officers entered the courtyard, they encountered an individual that matched that description,” said Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac. “Gunshots were exchanged between the individual and the officers.”

One of the officers was hit.

“The other individual involved did sustain multiple gunshot wounds as well,” said Chief Isaac.

An off-duty officer in Houston, Texas, chased and engaged a robber;

Police said it started from the suspect robbing a woman in a shopping center on Mercury Road in Jacinto City around 7:30 p.m. She told the off-duty officer she had been robbed, and he then followed the driver on the highway.

During the chase, police said an altercation happened that caused the officer to fear for his and others safety. The officer pulled out his gun and shot at the suspect several times. The suspect was hit at least once.

“We are still in the investigative stage of it,” said Captain William R. Dobbins with HPD Homicide. “We don’t know exactly where the shots were fired or how many shots were fired or his proximity to the suspect, but we do know it happened on the freeway between mercury road and here.”

The officer wasn’t injured. The chase ended at North Wayside Drive and the North Loop when the suspect got out of his car and ran off.
