Police in Chandler are looking for a 25-year-old Mesa man after an officer-involved shooting Monday afternoon. 

Detective Seth Tyler said they had been looking for and following David Gonzales all day, triggering lockdowns at five area schools.

“There was some sort of a confrontation between this individual and our officers. Ah, one of our officers and this individual exchanged gunfire,” Tyler said.

Nobody was hurt in the gunfire but Tyler says Gonzalez was later allegedly involved in a violent carjacking. Officers consider him desperate and dangerous.
