At 4:04 p.m., officers responded to reports of shots fired at Quatama Crossing Apartments, 650 Northeast Autumncreek Drive. 9-1-1 callers reported a man fired several shots from a pistol into a parked car before driving away in a Subaru Outback.
An officer responding to the call found a car matching this description and stopped it westbound on East Main Street west of Southeast Borwick Street. As the officer got out of his patrol car, the Subaru accelerated away.
The Subaru lost control at the intersection with Northeast Century Boulevard and crashed into the driver’s side of a Toyota 4Runner waiting to turn left at the intersection. The Toyota’s driver, a woman, and a passenger in the Subaru, a man, were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The Subaru’s driver and its three other passengers were uninjured.
Officers arrested the Subaru’s driver, a 19-year-old man, and recovered a pistol from the car. He was determined to be the suspect in the shooting. The car damaged in the shooting was unoccupied during the incident, and no one was injured by gunfire.
The investigation is ongoing. No further information released at this time.
An update with the name of the man arrested, charges, and booking photograph will be released later this evening.
