The Gilbert Police Department said a Final County sheriff's deputy attempted to perform a traffic stop Thursday night, but the suspect fled in a vehicle and fired shots at the deputy. The suspect, whose name wasn't released, then drove onto the Chandler Airport runway before driving the wrong way onto the 202 San Tan Freeway and crashing the vehicle.
