BEAVER, Utah — Interstate 15 was closed in both directions Monday night as police searched for a gunman in Beaver County.

Officials with the Utah Highway Patrol said troopers attempted to stop a vehicle Monday night, but it kept driving.

A pursuit then ensued.

After the pursuit, officials said the driver took off running and fired several shots at officers. No injuries were reported, according to UHP.

Around 10:20 p.m. Monday, Beaver County Sheriff Cameron Noel told KSL-TV that officers had the man pinned down on I-15.
