When police arrived, they found the suspect, who ran eastbound, prompting a foot chase, Sgt. Russ Whitaker with the EPD said.
About halfway between North Quince Street and Centre City Parkway, the man pulled out what appeared to be gun, Lt. Jud Campbell with San Diego Police Department’s Homicide Unit said in a news conference. An officer then shot the man multiple times on a bike path east of North Quince Street, Escondido police said.
SDPD said another officer and a sergeant were also involved in the pursuit but did not fire their weapons.
The man, who police described as 34 years old, is expected to survive and is being treated at a nearby hospital, according to SDPD. He has been identified, but police are not releasing his name yet.
Police say no officers were injured in the shooting.
A firearm that was dropped during the incident was possibly a replica firearm or a compressed air gun, Campbell said.

SDPD said its Homicide Unit is conducting the investigation, which is county protocol for officer-involved shootings.
This is a developing story that will be updated as more information arrives.

Huge brawl breaks out between Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Angels
Atlanta pitcher Reynaldo López and Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Jorge Soler were ejected after a brawl between the two players on Tuesday night.
Soler charged the mound after López threw a high inside pitch that tipped off Jonah Heim’s glove in the bottom of the fifth inning.
At first López held his hands up as the two glared at each other before both started throwing punches. The benches emptied as players from both teams tried to separate the two. Atlanta manager Walt Weiss was among those who tackled Soler.
López was holding the baseball when he landed a punch on Soler’s batting helmet.
Soler had homered off López in his first at-bat, then was hit by a pitch in his second. The Braves led 4-2 when the dustup occurred.
López pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits with seven strikeouts. Soler finished with a home run and two RBIs.
The Angels won 6-2 on Monday in the first of the three-game series.
