Robbery Suspect Shot During Multi‑City Chase That Ended in Dallas

Dallas is leading the officer‑involved shooting probe while The Colony handles the underlying robbery, a split that will shape evidence control and next steps.

Overview

  • Police say the sequence began after Plano lost sight of a vehicle tied to an aggravated robbery and Richardson units located and tried to stop it, leading to a chase that spanned city lines on Thursday.
  • Richardson officers report the driver fired at pursuing officers during the pursuit and that officers returned gunfire as the chase continued.
  • The chase ended when the suspect’s vehicle became disabled near Alpha Road and Hughes Lane in Dallas and officers took the suspect into custody; Dallas Fire‑Rescue transported the suspect to a hospital for a gunshot wound.
  • Officials have not released the suspect’s name or condition, no officers were reported injured, and the Dallas Police Department has taken lead responsibility for the shooting investigation while The Colony is handling the original robbery probe.
  • Reporters at the scene described heavy damage to the suspect vehicle, apparent strikes on police vehicles, and a large firearm on the ground, and investigators continue processing evidence as the multi‑agency review proceeds.
