Police said the rider pulled into a gated area when he realized police were following him. One of the officers approached the rider to inform him that what he was doing was illegal. During the conversation, the rider allegedly “showed” a gun. At this point, a second officer reportedly fired at the rider, hitting him twice. The rider was taken to a nearby hospital where he was last reported to be in critical condition.
