COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio — One person was shot by Colerain Township police Friday night, a township spokesperson confirmed.

The spokesperson said officers were dispatched to the 3300 block of Deshler Drive shortly before 7:30 p.m. for "a report of domestic trouble." When they arrived, a suspect, later identified as 39-year-old Mark Bramble, fled from officers in a vehicle. Officers followed Bramble in a pursuit, which ended near the area of Commons Circle and Mall Drive.

After the pursuit ended, police said Bramble "displayed a firearm towards officers," causing officers to shoot their weapons at him.

While officials did not provide any details about what led to the shooting, the spokesperson said a suspect shot at officers and officers returned fire, hitting them.

Bramble sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to UC Medical Center for treatment. He was then booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center shortly after 1 a.m.
