So it turns out that the police were attempting to block in a stolen car in the mcdonalds drive through. They tried to bust through the police block, shots were fired, the female passenger was hit in the shoulder (nothing serious, she has since been released and put back into custody). Her and 4 other people were arrested.
So now that I think of the scene from last night. There was one police cruiser in the drive through. I guess they were behind the silver car and ran the plates. I presumes that another cruiser tried to box them in. And they may have rammed it to get out.
I did notice that the silver car's license plate was dangling off the front bumper. That probably scared the shit out of the officer attempting to block them in. So he fired, Hitting the girl as the car sped away.... I assume the people then realized she was hit and decided that it was no longer play time.
That would explain the traffic cones they were putting down. That was probably where the shots were fired from, and where the car rammed the other cruiser.
edit: many local papers are now carrying the story. It seems like the police stumbled upon the car in the mcdonalds drive through and that the officer ran the plates to find that the plates were stolen. The car later also turned out to be stolen.
From the reports it looks like the police pulled in behind the white acura (in the drive through) while another cruiser blocked the exit to the drive through. The car reverse rammed the cruiser behind, just as the officer in front got out of his car to question the driver. The driver then repeatedly rammed the cruiser blocking the exit, succesfully pushing it out of the way. Aparently this is when the officers started shooting at the driver (from the front of the car). They missed, but the driver stopped the car and fled on foot, just 30 m from the drive through exit.
He was later found by a police dog, hiding in a nearby backyard. Holy crap! What a guy he left 4 passengers behind in the car, one, a female who was injured.
Sorry for harping on about this so much, it's kinda hard to think about anything else today,
