The incident unfolded around 3:15 a.m. Monday when Santa Monica police officers located the suspect was wanted in connection with an ongoing kidnapping investigation involving an adult victim, according to the Santa Monica Police Department.
Officers initiated the pursuit when the suspect fled, but it came to an end shortly after near Hoover and 85th streets.
That's where an officer-involved shooting occurred, but police did not provide additional information about what prompted the gunfire. Nobody was shot, however, including officers.
The suspect was taken into custody.
Police said the kidnapping victim was not present when the chase and shooting unfolded.
The Los Angeles Police Department and L.A. County Sheriff's Department were on scene helping with the investigation.
