4 arrested after trying to use fake credit cards

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police have arrested four people who tried to use fake credit cards at a South Florida store and almost ran over a police officer while trying to flee.

A security guard at the Best Buy on Bird Road and 77th Avenue notified police when four people attempted to use the fake credit cards.

The shoppers took off running and even tried to run over an officer, police said. That is when police were forced to fire. "Well, enough for the officer to feel that his life is in danger, and he has to take deadly force," said Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta. "The officer is doing fine. He did discharge but did not strike anybody or anything."

All four subjects are in custody.
