An East Palo Alto police officer was injured Thursday night in a shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday at 11:00 p.m., the officer conducted a traffic stop on a Dodge Charger in the area of Fordham Street and Purdue Avenue for a vehicle code violation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police said the driver fled the stop and officers pursued the suspect on foot to the 2700 block of Fordham Street, where a fight ensued and the suspect shot an officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officer was able to assist in detaining the suspect. No shots were fired by officers, according to police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The injured officer, a veteran of the East Palo Alto Police Department, suffered a lower extremity injury that was not considered life-threatening, authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suspect, identified as Willie Wiley, 44, of East Palo Alto, was arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
