The San Jose police sergeant who was shot Wednesday following aĀ multi-county pursuitĀ is in "good spirits" but remains in the hospital for evaluation and treatment of his injury, authorities said.
The sergeant sustained a skull fracture that required surgery.
The incident began at a Chevrolet dealership on Capitol Expressway in San Jose, where police said the suspect, who died after a shootout with the city's police department in the downtown area, stole a green Corvette at gunpoint.
From there, the suspect drove 45 miles to Hollister, where video showed him exiting the Corvette and raising his left arm into the air before gunfire was heard.
Once again, the suspect fled in a car he had hijacked and made his way back to San Jose.
Police said the suspect and officers exchanged gunfire about two blocks from the SAP Center.
Ultimately, the car appeared to have killed the suspect.
"The suspect attempted to flee and carjack another vehicle before a police vehicle struck him, resulting in his death at the scene," San Jose police Sergeant Jorge Garibay stated.
