A police officer that was in the patrol saw Nunez running in his direction so he pulled out his 9mm pistol, identified himself as a police officer, and ordered Nunez to stop.

Nunez then threw a black object towards the police officer and a struggle ensued. Nunez was injured and subdued with a single gunshot to the leg by the officer.

Nunez was then transported to the Southern Regional Hospital.

The object was picked up which amounted to 2,749.9 grams of cannabis.
