A Vancouver police officer fired their weapon while responding to a burglary early Sunday morning in the Meadow Homes neighborhood.

Vancouver police were dispatched at 12:06 a.m. to a commercial alarm at 6714 N.E. 18th St. Responding officers found evidence of a burglary, and a male was seen inside the building, according to a police news release.

The suspect exited the building in a vehicle while officers were setting up containment around the building. An officer fired a shot, the news release said. The officer was not identified, and the news release did not indicate whether anyone was injured.

A pursuit ensued, and the suspect vehicle was found abandoned near East Fifth Street and South Blandford Drive, police said. The suspect was not located, however.

The Vancouver Police Department is investigating the burglary. The Regional Major Crimes Team, led by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating the officer-involved shooting.
