A driver injured four Dallas police officers during a standoff with a shooting suspect early Thursday, according to authorities and local reports.

Officers responded to a shooting call around 3:10 a.m. in the 3100 block of Community Drive in a North Dallas neighborhood, the Dallas Police Department said.

The shooting suspect had barricaded himself inside the home after shooting another man, FOX4 Dallas-Fort Worth reported, citing police. Two women and children were reportedly inside the home with the suspect. Officers found the victim with a gunshot wound to the leg, police said. The victim was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.

As officers were working on scene, an uninvolved driver in a pickup truck hit a marked squad car with one officer inside, and the patrol vehicle then struck three other officers, police said.
