A police pursuit ended with an exchange of gunfire between a fugitive and several officers, according to officials.
A man wanted by police since last year is now in custody after a pursuit in Montgomery County on Saturday.
An arrest warrant was issued for Mark Simpkins Jr. by the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole on Oct. 4, 2021. The 29-year-old was spotted by police walking into an A-plus store on Main Street in Norristown around 6 a.m. When officers tried to approach Simpkins, he allegedly fled and ran between two houses. Officials say he then fired a shot at the officers who fired back and hit him in the leg.
He was taken into custody at house on the 600 block of West Lafayette Street and treated for his injury at a local hospital.
