A man shot at police near East Speedway Boulevard and North Campbell Avenue Sunday night after an officer tried to pull him over over twice, reports stated.

The driver of the newer-model, black Mitsubishi Eclipse pulled a handgun out of the vehicle with his left hand and fired one or two shots at the officer inside his car, reports stated.

The shots did not hit the officer or the vehicle, said UAPD Sgt. Eugene Mejia. No injuries were reported from any person in the area, he said.

The officer on scene attempted to pull the vehicle over after observing a traffic violation by the vehicle while it was traveling northbound on North Campbell Avenue, reports stated.

The officer identified the person inside the vehicle as a white man between 18 and 25 years old, reports stated.

After putting on his sirens, the officer estimated the vehicle reached speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour, reports stated. The officer lost contact with the vehicle after it disappeared into a nearby neighborhood, reports stated.

Moments later, the officer saw the vehicle again and attempted to pull the vehicle over once more, reports stated.

At this time the driver opened fire on the officer.

The officer continued to follow the vehicle, which turned eastbound on East Grant Road and reached speeds of approximately 65 to 70 mph, but lost contact with the vehicle again, reports stated.

Mejia said the man's reckless driving is what allowed him to elude capture.

At this time police are investigating the incident to determine the location and owner of the vehicle, Mejia said.
