Officer shoots at stolen vehicle suspect after being crashed into

An Ocoee officer shot at a stolen vehicle suspect when the suspect crashed into the officer.

The City of Ocoee Police Department says that on Tuesday, a City of Ocoee Motorcycle Unit was conducting a traffic stop in the parking lot of the Advance Auto Parts store on Apopka Vineland Road.

While investigating the traffic infraction, the officer involved says that he located an occupied stolen vehicle in the same parking lot. The driver of the stolen vehicle drove at the officer, crashing into him, his motorcycle, and the vehicle the officer originally stopped.
