A confrontation involving the Dixon Police Department led to an officer shooting a man late on Sunday. The department stated that the incident began when officers found a vehicle stopped with its lights off on North First Street. When officers approached, the man drove away, heading east on Interstate 80 before exiting at Pedrick Road.
Dixon Police said “an officer-involved shooting occurred” after a pursuit ended at the 6800 block of Sievers Road, where the male suspect was hospitalized and no officers were injured.
