SAN BRUNO (KRON) -- The San Francisco Police Department reported an officer-involved shooting of a carjacking suspect who attempted to escape the scene of a crash involving a stolen vehicle Sunday morning near San Francisco International Airport.

Just before 7 a.m. Sunday, the SFPD officers assigned to the Airport Bureau responded to the area of North McDonnell Road and San Bruno Avenue regarding a report of a possible hit and run vehicle collision between a white car and a city light pole, according to police officials. As well, CHP was called to the scene at 7:03 a.m to help direct traffic in the area of U.S. Highway 101 and San Bruno Avenue.

The white car the suspect was in during the reported collision was later determined to be stolen from a woman who was running in the San Francisco Marathon held Sunday morning, according to police.

Initially, police reported the suspect crashed the stolen car, changed his sweater and took off as police followed him. They said, because the suspect involved in the collision was not cooperating with officials when they initially made contact, police fired one shot that missed him.

SFPD said the man had a backpack with him the entire time, and it was unclear whether or not he had a gun on his person or in the backpack.

The suspect fled on foot to away from the officer and entered the passenger side of a red vehicle in an alleged carjacking, police said. This red vehicle was stopped at a red light in a westbound lane on San Bruno Avenue at Highway 101.

Police reported the officer ordered both the suspect and driver of the red vehicle to exit the vehicle. The suspect then exited the vehicle and ran underneath the San Bruno Avenue overpass onto Highway 101, said police.

Additional officers responded to the area and pursued the suspect on foot, police said. The suspect ran across lanes of traffic, causing vehicles in northbound lanes to come to a stop.

As an officer approached him, police said the suspect then attempted to open the doors of multiple vehicles, but he was not able to gain entry. This officer ordered the suspect to show his hands.

The suspect reportedly refused to comply with the officer's orders and instead, he turned on the officer.

The officer discharged two rounds, striking the suspect once in the torso, police reported. An earlier report from police said the suspect was shot in his abdomen.

The suspect was transported to San Francisco General Hospital and was reported in stable condition Sunday afternoon, according to police. The officer was not injured during the incident.

Because this incident occurred in San Mateo County, SFPD officials said this incident will be investigated by the San Mateo County district attorney and sheriff's office.

Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to contact the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office at (650) 363-4911.
