FIFE, Wash. (AP) — No one was seriously injured in a stolen car chase that involved a Washington State Patrol trooper shooting at a driver she believes was trying to run her down near Fife.

KOMO News reports the chase began Wednesday afternoon near Federal Way and went down Interstate 5 to an exit at Fife where the man jumped in another car.

The patrol says the driver drove at a motorcycle trooper two times. She stopped and was on foot when she fired. The driver then tried to speed off, but was rammed by other troopers and taken into custody with the use of a Taser.

The suspect was treated at a hospital for minor injuries. The motorcycle trooper was not injured.
