Colorado Springs police officers are searching for a fugitive who they say took a shot at a bounty hunter and a bail bondsman Tuesday night.

According to police , at 7:15 p.m. bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and bail bondsman Bobby Brown were trying to catch 35-year-old Hoang Nguyen, who has had his bond revoked. They found Nguyen at the Galley Apartments at 3617 E. Uintah St.

According to police, Nguyen fired at least one shot from a handgun and then fled on a motorcycle. No one was injured.

Police Sgt. Chris Newton said that Nguyen had a couple of warrants for his arrest, but she said she did not know on what charges.

Chapman is a television personality who has a reality show on A&E that sometimes films in Colorado Springs, and his camera crew was at the scene with him, Newton said.

The crew told police that they had not taped the shooting. Chapman and Brown frequently team up as bounty hunters. In the television show, Brown helps find fugitives in about a third of the episodes.
