A Pennsylvania man was involved in a car crash Sunday before grabbing a firearm and opening fire at police, wounding one officer.
Pottstown Police responded shortly after 5 p.m. to a two-car crash at Beech Street and North Mount Vernon Street in Pottstown in Montgomery County.
A man involved in the crash then attempted to grab a gun inside his car, leading to a struggle between him and the officers, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said in a statement.

Steele said the man then ran on foot to his home on Winding Road as the officers chased him.
During the chase, the man pulled out a gun and fired at the pursuing officers, shooting one of them in the shoulder. The other officers returned fire but did not strike the suspect, and the man entered a home on Winding Road.
The wounded officer was transported to a hospital in stable condition for non-life-threatening injuries.
