Attempted robbery outside Lakewood Whole Foods results in officer-involved shooting

The officer, who was not injured in the incident, fired his weapon into a vehicle, which then sped away, striking at least two cars before leaving the parking lot.

An attempted robbery of a Whole Foods customer resulted in an officer-involved shooting in the parking lot Wednesday afternoon in the Lakewood area of East Dallas, officials said.

The officer, who was not injured in the incident, fired his weapon at least twice at the suspect's vehicle as the driver tried to run over the officer, police said.

The suspect, who was driving a gray Infiniti, kept fleeing and struck the officer's car, "causing significant damage," according to a police news release.

No one was injured during the incident, police said. It did not appear that the suspect had been shot, DISD spokeswoman Robyn Harris said.

Police were still looking for the suspect later Wednesday afternoon. Police described the suspect as a Latino man in his 30s, with an average build and height and a well-groomed beard.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police at 214-671-3612.
