That led to another attempted traffic stop, this time by BSO deputies and Hallandale Beach police officers near the Interstate 95 exit ramp to Hallandale Beach Boulevard. 

Deputies said Rogers pulled over briefly but then began driving off, hitting a deputy with his car in the process. 

The BSO deputy and a Hallandale Beach police officer fired their guns at Rogers' car as he fled, but no one was hit, authorities said. 

According to BSO spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wriht, Miramar police officers caught up with Rogers a short time later near Southwest 68th Avenue and East Woodscape Drive in Miramar.

Both Rogers and the BSO deputy were taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries. 

Rogers faces charges of attempted premeditated murder and fleeing police with disregard of safety to persons or property.
