Police pulled over a vehicle, near Alameda and I-225 that was believed to be connected to a shop lifting incident at Best Buy.
When an officer got to the driver's door, the driver took off, hitting the officer with his car.
The officer managed to get a shot off, hitting the driver.
A chase lasted only two miles when the suspect pulled his vehicle over at the Iliff off ramp.
He surrendered to police, who arrested him and transported him to the hospital for a bullet wound to the leg.
Charges against him include second degree assault, vehicular eluding causing injury, and shoplifting.
Officer Jason Pray, who was struck by the suspect's car, was taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
As is required by procedure, a full investigation of the incident is now underway.
