A Willcox, AZ, officer and a suspect were both shot during an incident on Thursday night.

The officer tried to make another stop and began pursuing the vehicle until the driver parked at a home and fired a handgun at the officer, ABC 15 reports.
A second Willcox officer had since showed up to the scene and both officers returned fire.
One of the officers was hit in the upper chest area, but suffered only minor injuries thanks to a ballistic vest.
