A man who was involved in a crash shot a police officer and then ran into a nearby home, leading to a shelter-in-place in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, officials said. Pottstown police first responded to a crash involving two vehicles on Beech and North Mount Vernon streets at 5:06 p.m., according to investigators. A man who was involved in the crash then tried to grab a gun inside one of the vehicles, leading to a struggle between him and the responding officers, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele wrote in a released statement Sunday night. The unidentified man then fled on foot to his home on Winding Road as the officers chased after him, Steele said. The man then pulled out a gun and fired at the pursuing officers, according to investigators. One of the officers was then shot in the shoulder. That officer was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Officials said the other officers fired back at the gunman but didn't strike him. The gunman then went into a home on the unit block of Winding Road, according to investigators. Numerous police officers as well as a SWAT team surrounded the home. A shelter-in-place is currently in effect for residents in the immediate area of Winding Road as the barricade situation continues.
