A suspect is in the hospital after an officer-involved shooting in Boise.

Boise Police began investigating a reported child abduction on Sunday evening.

Police say the suspect, who is known to the family, left with a 14 year-old boy. Officers believed the boy was in immediate danger.

Officers located the suspect while driving and attempted a traffic stop but eventually had to perform a PIT maneuver to stop the suspect’s vehicle around 36th and Eyrie.

Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee tells CBS 2 News – there was a confrontation between the suspect and officers – and the officers were compeled to use exercise force.

The suspect is undergoing treatment following surgery, and the child is safe.
