The truck drove inoncoming lanes and onsidewalks, eventually entering the parking lot at Chinook Centre where it again drove toward oncoming traffic before continuing south on Macleod Trail.

Police made the decision about 5 p.m. that the truck posed enough of a danger that it had to be stopped.

A tactical unit rammed the truck at Macleod Trail and Heritage Drive S.E. and a tactical officer fired a weapon shortly after.

Two people in the truck were taken into custody and one was transported to hospital with minor injuries, which police say were unrelated to the shooting.

No other injuries were reported.

The officer has been placed on a 30-day administrative leave, which is Calgary police policy.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
