MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- One male suspect was left critically injured after a chase led to an officer-involved shooting in the Hickory Hill area early Monday morning. Two other male suspects are still on the run.
A little after 1 a.m., Memphis Police officers say they responded to a prowler call in the 6500 block of South Country Oaks Circle.
A red Nissan Maxima was seen leaving the scene upon police arrival. That is when officers say they put out a broadcast.
Shortly afterward, the Maxima was found wrecked in the 2800 block of Kirby Parkway. The suspects had got out on foot and ran, police say. That is when a foot chase was initiated.
