According to police, the off-roading vehicle attempted to take over the intersection next to the gas station, resulting in shots fired and an officer having their foot run over.
Other responding officers were lead on an 18-mile chase to Krome Avenue in Southwest Miami Dade that ended with a pit maneuver and three people in custody.
JO, a witness who was working at that gas station, spoke with 7News in Spanish saying he heard multiple gunshots.
“We only heard the gunshots here, there were like three or four gunshots at least, that’s what I heard, and then all the cop cars started showing up.”
7News cameras also captured dozens of police cruisers gathered near Southwest 134th Street and 187th Avenue in Southwest Miami-Dade.
The injured officer was released from the hospital and is OK.
