According to police, Moran allegedly pulled a handgun and that's when the officer opened fire. Moran was not hit and fled the scene.

Moran, 23, was arrested nearby and is charged with aggravated assault of a public servant.

As is customary in HPD officer-involved shootings in the city limits, this case is being investigated by the HPD Homicide and Internal Affairs Divisions.
