Man shot by Redondo Beach police is in stable condition
A man shot by Redondo Beach police after a vehicle pursuit Saturday is in stable condition, authorities said.
Officers began to follow a car driven by Thomas Dallaire, 36, at around 5:20 p.m. in connection with a suspected traffic violation in the southern part of city, said Sgt. Mike Snakenborg of the Redondo Beach Police Department.
Officers chased Dallaire into San Pedro, where he struck another car and came to a stop near the intersection of North Gaffey Street and West Summerland Place, authorities said.
An officer approached Dallaire’s car and opened fire when Dallaire threw the car in reverse and “tried to run him over,” said Mike Lopez, spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department.
The chase ended near the intersection of Leland and 17th streets, when Dallaire’s car stopped working, authorities said.
Dallaire was transported to a local hospital in stable condition and treated for gunshot wounds and injuries sustained in the collision with the other car, Lopez said. No one else was hurt, he said.
Dallaire was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon.
LAPD robbery/homicide detectives are investigating the shooting because the chase ended in San Pedro, Lopez said.
