The SIU says during an interaction, one officer fired their weapon multiple times, hitting both the suspect and another officer.
Durham police said in a statement earlier in the day that the officer was transported to hospital and was in critical but stable condition. The suspect was also taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
The man is not believed to have had a firearm, the SIU said.
Five investigators and two forensic investigators have been assigned.
