Dallas Police joined the pursuit near the 11300 block of I-635, near Walnut Hill in the Lake Highlands area, where the suspect exited the truck and took off on foot.

Reportedly while hiding along the wall of the Regency Hotel off I-635, he opened fire on the two officers, one a Dallas patrolman, who caught up to him, according to a report from DPD.

The Dallas police officer, who was not hit, returned fire, striking the suspect, who was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police reportedly recovered cash scattered around the vehicle near the hotel.
