CLEVELAND (AP) - Cleveland police say an armed robbery suspect being pursued by police exchanged gunfire with officers who shot and injured him.
No officers were injured.
Police received a report around 930 a.m. Sunday of a man stealing a woman’s car at gunpoint. Police received a call a short time later about a man brandishing a handgun at a laundromat and leaving in a car that appeared to be the one stolen.

Authorities say the suspect was hospitalized in serious condition and is expected to survive.
