FOLSOM, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say a shoplifting suspect pulled a gun and tried to shoot police in Northern California but the gun jammed.
KCRA-TV says 29-year-old Jason Knapp was arrested Tuesday afternoon after a violent struggle with three Folsom police officers and a store employee. It’s unclear whether he has a lawyer.
Police say they went to a business at around 1 p.m. to help employees deal with a shoplifting suspect who immediately got into a struggle with officers.
Police say he pulled a gun, pointed it at officers and pulled the trigger but it jammed.
He was finally shot with a stun gun, disarmed and arrested.
Police say Knapp and three officers were treated for minor injuries.
Police also say they found two guns and a half-pound of cocaine in his car.
