A man whose car was stolen in Carlisle Saturday is facing reckless endangerment and related charges because he fired a gunshot at his vehicle as the suspect drove away, police said.

Police responded to a report of a vehicle theft with shots fired in the 300 block of North Hanover Street just after 1:30 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers found Zaheer Akram, who told police that after he pulled into a nearby parking lot, he left his vehicle and left it running within his view. That's when he told police the suspect, Byron Hudson, hopped in his car and took off.

Akram gave chase and nearly caught up with his vehicle, a Toyota, as Hudson attempted to leave the parking lot.

As the vehicle left the parking lot and went north on Spring Road, Akram pulled out a handgun and fired a single shot at the driver's side door, police said.

Police flooded the area and found Hudson in the vehicle a few blocks away. He was not injured and was taken into custody without incident, according to police. He was sent to Cumberland County Prison and charged with theft, receiving stolen property and unauthorized use of a vehicle.

Police will send Akram a summons for reckless endangerment and discharging a firearm in public.
