GOODYEAR, AZ — Two teens are in custody after a shooting and pursuit involving Goodyear police officers Tuesday morning.

Police say it happened near Sarival Avenue and Van Buren Street around 10:00 a.m.

Officers found an allegedly stolen car near Harrison Street and Shooting Star Drive and attempted to stop the car. The driver took the vehicle into a neighborhood and eventually stopped the vehicle in a cul-de-sac.

Police officers then surrounded the vehicle and ordered the driver and passenger out of the car.

The passenger, a 13-year-old boy, got out of the car and was taken into custody without further incident.

The driver, a 15-year-old boy, allegedly then drove the car "in the direction" of the officers. That's when an officer shot at the vehicle.

A short pursuit then ensued and ended in the same neighborhood, where the 15-year-old allegedly tried to flee on foot.

The teen was taken into custody a short time later with the help of a police K9.

Nobody involved in the incident was struck by gunfire, according to police.

The investigation remains ongoing.
