..."The suspect was armed with a handgun, assistant police chief Don Crowe said at a news conference.
The man is said to have fled the scene in a maroon pickup truck with California licence plates, but police tracked the vehicle to the adjoining city of Bartlett shortly thereafter.
The driver got out of the vehicle still armed, and a Memphis police officer fired his weapon and struck the man, Mr Crowe said.
"I personally truly believe we have avoided a tragedy," he told WREG-TV.
"I think the suspect was going to harm somebody before the day was over and that our officers were able to intervene and protect the citizens," he said.
The suspect, who has not been identified, was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
Authorities, led by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI, are currently investigating a motive for his actions."

I guess we need to ban maroon pickup trucks.
But, more seriously, this is exactly how it ought to work.
