A police pursuit on Terre Haute's south side turned more dangerous as a suspect began firing shots at officers early Friday morning.

Just after 3 a.m., officers attempted to  stop the suspects' blue passenger car. A pursuit ensued when the driver refused to stop. According to scanner traffic, at least three suspects were inside the vehicle. They led police around the area of S. 19th and Walnut Streets and ended at the intersection of S. 13th Street and College Avenue. At least two suspects were apprehended at gunpoint after the car finally came to a stop. However, at the time of this report, one suspect remained at large after fleeing on foot.

According to scanner traffic, items were observed being tossed out the window during the pursuit. The driver reportedly sped through multiple stop signs and traffic lights.

Multiple agencies assisted in the pursuit, including Terre Haute Police Department, Indiana State University Police, Indiana State Police and the Vigo County Sheriff's Office. Stop sticks were deployed. No injuries were reported.
