The officer and deputy fired at the fleeing driver after he nearly ran over an officer. The suspect was hit. He was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries. He's facing multiple charges of drunk driving, fleeing, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief.
The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation will investigate what led up to the shooting.
