As the foot pursuit continued onto nearby Kenilworth Street, police allege Rice fired a gun at the officers and struck one of them in the arm.

In addition to the officer who was shot, three other officers were treated at local hospitals for injuries that were not life-threatening, the department said. It was not immediately clear how the three additional officers were wounded."
