Car Crash in Atlanta Ends With Officer-Involved Shooting
Two suspects, including the man police believe was driving the car, are in custody.
Two people are behind bars Monday morning following a police chase which began in southern Fulton County and ended in downtown Atlanta over the weekend.
According to WSB-TV, a black four-door sedan was taken from its owner at gunpoint from a Fairburn gas station. Officers responded to the carjacking and the chase was on. The black sedan rear-ended a gray Volkswagen at the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Fort Street, and the vehicle chase was over.
One of the two people who got out of the wrecked car opened fire on police, who returned fire. Nobody was injured in the fusillade. A foot chase then ensued, which saw both suspects arrested.
