DETROIT (FOX 2) - An officer involved shooting on Detroit's east side at a McDonald's left a man in the hospital.

What they're saying:

The shooting happened at a McDonald's on Gratiot near 7 Mile. 

According to Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison, it all began when police pulled over a vehicle in the drive-through. The car was occupied by two women, one of them being the driver, and an 18-year-old man sitting in the back seat.

While there, the driver allowed the car to be searched when police say the man started to act resistant. While being removed from the car, the man became combative and then broke through police. 

Dig deeper:

Police chased him for a short distance when Bettison said the man took a gun out, which led to one officer firing one shot, hitting the man in the upper torso. 

"If you pull a weapon on Detroit officers, or any officer, these are the types of things that happen," said Bettison.

The man was taken to a hospital where he is in critical condition.
