Afzal said that they found that the vehicle was reported stolen.
One of the people in the car shot at the officer, the chief said, leading to a pursuit that eventually ended in the 1700 block of South Gettysburg Road.
During the pursuit, he said, one police cruiser hit a pedestrian near S. Euclid Avenue and Germantown Street.
The officer was not injured, Afzal said, but the pedestrian suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The chief added that one person was arrested at the scene on South Gettysburg Avenue.
Dayton police asked the public to avoid part of South Gettysburg Avenue due to police activity Thursday afternoon.
South Gettysburg Avenue is closed in both directions near the 1700 block.
SWAT, Hostage Negotiation Team crews and approximately a dozen police cruisers were seen on the scene.
Afzal said it is unclear if the house is the suspect’s home, but said that crews were working to determine if anyone else is inside.
