Bike officers saw a drug deal in progress, and when they approached, a man ran off and police chased after him, SPD Chief Shon Barnes said during a press conference.
The man then allegedly turned and pointed a gun at officers. Officers took cover, and the man kept running.
Police reported that happened twice, before one of the two officers discharged their weapon—firing multiple times. The suspect then dropped his gun and surrendered, according to Barnes.
