Deadly force

The driver, Damien Morton, wouldn't stop until the intersection of Third Street and Bridger Avenue, where he got out and began running. The officer chased him on foot and saw Morton try unsuccessfully to carjack a other nearby. The officer then saw Morton jump into the passenger window of a car, and the officer fired twice. The car was the same other Morton had been driving, but Morton's girlfriend was behind the wheel, and she drove Morton to a hospital.
