Authorities said undercover officers were conducting surveillance when a suspect unrelated to that investigation came outside, looked at the undercover vehicle, went back inside his home, then came back out and started shooting at the police vehicle.
Officials said two officers, who were inside the vehicle that was shot three times, weren't injured in the shooting.
The officers quickly drove away to get away from the shooting, then turned around, radioed for assistance and marked units came and were able to identify the suspect going into a home and detained him.
Authorities stated the suspect wasn't injured, and they were able to recover a stolen firearm, along with some narcotics.
