LAKEWOOD, Colo. (KDVR) — A 29-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly shot several rounds at Lakewood police Friday night, the department said.

Richard Lee Arellano is accused of stealing several hundred dollars worth of merchandise at a Walmart located at 7455 W. Colfax Ave. with Gwendolyn Gallegos, 57, around 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 30. Police said employees told them Arellano pulled a gun from his waistband and pointed it at them as he was leaving the store before running off.

Police searched the area and found Arellano and a ground chase ensued. During the pursuit, police said Arellano turned and fired several rounds at a Lakewood agent and a detective. Arellano disappeared and police set up a perimeter to find him.
