A Jackson Township police officer responding to a domestic violence call Monday evening shot at a suspect, but no one was injured in the shooting.

According to the Jackson Township Police Department, it happened just before 8 p.m. in the 8000 block of Parkford Street NW.

Police Chief Mark Brink said in a news release that when officers arrived, they encountered a suspect who "refused to comply with law enforcement commands."

During the encounter, "officers observed the suspect brandishing a firearm" while refusing to comply, Brink said. "The suspect's movements coupled with his non-compliance, lead officers to believe that violence was imminent. In response to this threat, a responding officer discharged a firearm."

The chief said no one was injured by the officer's weapon being fired.
