Fort Wayne Police Officer Shoots Suspect After He Hits Own Mother With Car While Trying To Flee [Video]

The Fort Wayne Police Department is looking into an incident after a police officer pursuit ended in an officer firing shots at a suspect Friday morning.

FWPD says the incident happened around 10 a.m. at Creighton Avenue and S Clinton Street. The suspect refused to pull over.

Police pursued the man to Winter Street, where his mother lives. They say the suspect then stopped in front of the home and said something to his mother before taking off again.

The mother, Juanita Gray, 57, was trying to go back inside the home when her son hit her with his car. She refused medical treatment at the scene and is expected to be okay.

Gray is facing one charge of obstruction of justice.

Officials say the suspect also grazed an officer with his car. Police say during the “dangerous situation created by the suspect,” one officer fired shots, hitting the man. Both the suspect and the officer are expected to survive, 21AliveNews reported.

The suspect was later identified as 38-year-old JaJuan Burley. He faces a battery of a deadly weapon, attempted murder, disarming, resisting arrest in a vehicle, and criminal recklessness charges. They also say narcotics charges are pending.

The incident remains under investigation at this time.
