When responding officers found the firearm, they told Hunter and Pritchett to get on the ground prompting the two men to run from the scene.
Pritchett was chased by one of the officers on foot and did not stop until he was shot with a Taser in a side yard of Woodward Avenue, according to the city police report. Hunter was also captured by another officer at West Second Street.
Pritchett reportedly told the officers that he ran because he had a warrant out for his arrest.
