He fled into an apartment building on Intervale Avenue when they tried to approach him, Chief Nikunen said. The officers, three patrolmen and a lieutenant, pursued the man to the third floor, where they were let inside the apartment by another man, Chief Nikunen said. When he refused, Chief Nikunen said, a lieutenant used pepper spray on him. The bullet struck the suspect on the left side of his lower back, Chief Nikunen said. Chief Nikunen said the police received a second 911 call from someone inside the apartment who backed the officers’ account of what happened.
