Officer-involved shooting reported in Estero

A Lee County Sheriff's Office detective shot at a man Tuesday in Estero after the man tried to evade arrest and to hit the detective with his vehicle, officials said.

Detectives with the Sheriff's Office narcotics unit tried to serve an arrest warrant on the man in the area of U.S. 41 and Coconut Road around 4 p.m, according to Undersheriff Carmine Marceno.

The man, resisting arrest, got in his car and "intentionally" tried to run detectives down, officials said. "Fearing for his life," a detective fired at the man with his gun, Marceno said.

The suspect was later found barricaded in a home off Corkscrew Road near Burgundy Farms Road, nearly 10 miles from the initial scene.

The suspect ultimately surrendered to authorities.

The detective was taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries, the Sheriff's Office said. It was not immediately clear whether the suspect had been hit by gunfire or if the detective was struck by the vehicle.

Roads in the two separate areas were closed for several hours but reopened Tuesday evening.
