Salt Lake City police officers witnessed a drive-by shooting Saturday before pursuing the involved vehicle and arresting three teenagers, according to law enforcement officials.
Nobody was hurt in the shooting or consequent arrests, police said in a press release.
One of the vehicle’s passengers, a 14-year-old girl who was not arrested, was sent to the hospital after telling law enforcement she was pregnant, according to police. The teenager’s potential involvement is being investigated.
The department said the shooting occurred Saturday night, when officers of Salt Lake City Police Department’s Gang Unit saw a Nissan Maxima drive into a neighborhood northwest of the city and witnessed “multiple rounds fired” from the vehicle.
The Maxima’s driver then fled the scene and started a car chase with officers before crashing into another car, according to police.
