NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police say four juveniles are in custody after shooting at officers in a Metro undercover car and an airborne helicopter.
Don Aaron, Spokesperson for Metro Police, said an undercover detective was near Haven Apartments when they heard gunshots from a Red Dodge nearby. The undercover officer then followed the car, and the four individuals inside began shooting at the undercover car, which was hit twice before the Dodge took off.
The Dodge later hit another car and spun off, and the four individuals inside ran into the nearby neighborhood for cover. Aaron said that's where the heavy police presence was — including a Metro Police helicopter and a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter. They found the four suspects in a wooded area off Millwood Drive at Murfreesboro Pike, where they quickly surrendered.
We were told that no one was hurt in the shooting.
The 16-year-old driver was charged with the three counts of attempted murder. The 15-year0old front seat passenger has been charged with one count of attempted murder for shooting at the undercover officer.
