   A police officer stopped a shooting suspect by striking him with   
   a patrol vehicle Monday night in Tucson, officials said.   
      
   Law enforcement had been looking for 48-year-old Paul Elliott   
   Irvin since early Monday, when police say he shot at a Tucson   
   officer during a traffic stop before fleeing. The officer was   
   uninjured.   
      
   A multiagency manhunt led police to a bus stop where officers   
   found Irvin, who tried to flee on foot again but was stopped   
   after an officer struck him with a patrol vehicle.   
      
   Police said Irvin had a firearm with him when he was arrested.   
      
   Irvin was treated at the scene and taken to a hospital with non-   
   life-threatening injuries, according to a Tucson Police   
   Department Facebook post. He will be booked into jail upon his   
   release.   
      
   Tucson police said they received help from Homeland Security   
   Investigations and the U.S. Marshals Office. It wasn't clear   
   which agency's officer hit Irvin with the vehicle.   
      
   At about 3 a.m. Monday, police said, Irvin was driving a 1993   
   Chevy pickup truck with a passenger when he was stopped by a   
   Tucson police officer   
      
   During the stop, Irvin got out of the truck and ran, police   
   said. An officer chased Irvin and during the chase, Irvin and   
   the officer shot at each other, police said.   
      
   The officer was not injured in the exchange, but Irvin was able   
   to get away. The passenger in Irvin's truck, who was not   
   identified, also was uninjured, police said.
