Two teenagers are in custody after a shooting involving Mesa police officers on Thursday.
Just after 4:45 p.m., officers were alerted about a stolen vehicle near Power Road and Main Street.
When officers arrived, they located the suspected vehicle traveling south on Power Road. The driver continued traveling and eventually ended up on 72nd Place, near Broadway Road.
Around this time, the officer deployed a grappler, which did not work to stop the vehicle.
Officials say the driver turned into a neighborhood and into a cul-de-sac.
During this time, the driver turned around, went off the roadway, made a U-turn into residents' front yards, and headed toward the officer's vehicle.
Officials say the driver hit the police vehicle and this is when the officer fired their weapon.
The driver suffered a hand injury and was taken to a hospital for treatment. It's unclear if the person was injured from the shooting or due to the crash.
A second person, the passenger, was not injured and was taken into custody.
Their names have not been released.
No officers were injured during the incident.
Officials say the vehicle they were in was reported stolen out of Mesa on June 5.
There is no indication that either of the teens had a weapon on them.
Charges are expected to be filed pending the outcome of the investigation.
