Chino, CA - Police opened fire on an alleged domestic violence suspect at the end of a lengthy pursuit through San Bernardino County.

It began at around 12:15 a.m. in Chino, when police say the suspect was involved in a domestic assault with his girlfriend earlier in the 14000 block of Monte Vista Avenue in Chino, according to a statement from the Chino Police Department.

Investigators identified the man as Jose Martinez, 47 of Rialto. They say that he was "attempting to force her into a vehicle" when he "slammed the victim's head into a light pole and struck her multiple times."

He again forced the woman into the car, but she was able to escape shortly after. She was hospitalized for treatment on injuries she suffered in the incident.

When they located Martinez and attempted to pull him over at around 11:30 a.m. in Fontana, he instead continued to drive.

"Martinez then used his vehicle to ram into two police vehicles and fled from the stop," police said.

It continued until in the 10800 block of Kadota Avenue near Mission Boulevard in Montclair, where officers successfully cornered Martinez in his vehicle. Neighbors say that police rammed his car multiple times to finally bring it to a stop.

Crisis negotiators were called to the scene, including members of Chino PD's SWAT team.

"The negotiations continued for over an hour before Martinez abruptly exited the vehicle while pointing a dark-colored object and advancing towards officers in a two-handed shooting stance, at which time an officer involved shooting occurred," the Chino police statement said.

At least one officer opened fire, the department said.

Martinez was rushed to a nearby hospital in unknown condition after officers provided medical aid at the scene.

Officers say that the object Martinez was holding "appears to be a portable battery pack."
