NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — New video captures the moments Metro Police say four teenagers ran into a wooded area after shooting at an undercover police officer and a police helicopter.
Now, two teenagers are facing attempted murder charges.
Police say the teens fired those shots Monday after leading officers on a chase that ended near the Haven Apartments on Patricia Drive, which is not far from the airport.
Police say the 16-year-old driver of that car and a 15-year-old passenger shot at the undercover officer and helicopter. The teens then ditched the car and ran into a wooded area off Millwood Drive at Murfreesboro Pike.
They surrendered to police about an hour later.
Officers recovered two guns from a nearby tree. Prosecutors have charged that 16-year-old and 15-year-old with attempted murder.
We've also learned a 13-year-old and 14-year-old were in the backseat of that car. Right now they have not been charged.

As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
