OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Three people have been taken into custody after a car chase that began with gunshots from a deputy.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office says the three were arrested after their vehicle was stopped early Monday morning on U.S. Highway 275 just inside Dodge County.
The Sheriff’s Office says in a news release that a deputy responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle northwest of Omaha spotted a car and stopped it just after 1:30 a.m. The office says that as the deputy approached the car, the driver turned it around and accelerated toward the deputy, who opened fire.
State troopers and other officers joined the chase, which continued up U.S. Highway 275 before ending southeast of Fremont.
No one in the car was injured. Neither was the deputy.
