A report of shots fired quickly turned into a carjacking at the Target on Route 22.
According to initial reports, officers were dispatched to the Clinton Manor Motor Lodge on Route 22 West for dispute between a man and a woman.
Upon arrival police discovered that a man - later identified as Quadree Frazier, 35, with addresses in Newark and East Orange - attempted to rob two women at that location. Before fleeing, the Frazier shot one of the women in the face/neck area and struck an employee in the head with the gun.
Frazier then ran across Route 22 and entered the Target parking lot where he carjacked a woman at gunpoint and took her 2010 Lincoln.
Before an officer on patrol attempted to stop the vehicle, the Frazier crashed into a pickup truck which caused another vehicle to lose control and crash into a parked Jeep - occupied by Union County Prosecutor Grace Park - who was unharmed.
The ordeal came to an end when the suspect crashed into the Halloween City wall engulfing in flames while partially inside the facility. No one inside the store was injured.
The suspect got out of the car and tried to escape but was apprehended by police.
Frazier was transported to University Hospital for injuries including a broken vertebrae in his neck and back, damaged ribs, and a collapsed lung.
According to officials, pending charges are expected to include, carjacking, weapons offenses and attempted murder.
Police recovered the weapon under one of the crashed vehicles.
