Two men were arrested and a manhunt is now underway for a third, following a police-involved shooting incident which occurred in the Central Division Tuesday morning.
Officers were on mobile patrol around 11:40 am, on October 4th, in the Longdenville district, when they responded to a report of a robbery in the Carlsen Field area.
On arrival, the officers observed a silver Nissan Tiida motor vehicle with three male occupants driving along the Brasso Caparo Road.
A chase ensued during which the front seat passenger of the vehicle allegedly pointed a firearm in the direction of the officers and fired three shots.
In keeping with the Use of Force Policy, officers returned fire and the occupants abandoned the vehicle a short distance away.
Two suspects, a 21-year-old of Longdenville and a 20-year-old of Enterprise, were arrested, while the third suspect escaped.
One pistol loaded with three rounds of ammunition was recovered from the scene.
A search for the third suspect is ongoing.
