The driver then ran to a gas station, where a woman was pumping gas with a 1-year-old boy in the backseat of her vehicle.
Police say the man jumped into the vehicle and an officer opened fire after seeing that he had a gun.
Police said early Thursday that the baby was critically injured, but that by mid-morning his condition had improved to stable.
