Two Riverside Police Department officers were on patrol near Orange and Spruce streets about 12:15 a.m. when they attempted to stop a vehicle that had been reported stolen, according to a department press release.
The driver, Ryan Rodriguez, led police on a chase before losing control and striking a curb near Main and Spruce streets.
The officers repeatedly ordered the driver to get out of the car, but he accelerated in reverse toward the officers, police said. An officer shot the driver, who continued driving before losing control of the vehicle again.
