Police responded to an officer-involved shooting Monday on the 5000 block of Rossville Boulevard.

Chattanooga Police Department spokesman Rob Simmons said the suspect was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Another crime scene was established on the 800 block of South Seminole Drive. That is where the suspect’s vehicle was found, police said.

Both Chattanooga and Rossville police officers made contact with the suspect on Rossville Boulevard. Shots were fired by police and the suspect was struck.

Simmons said the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting, as CPD does not investigate shootings involving its officers.
