Two people were in custody after shooting an unoccupied Chicago police car outside the the 25th District police station while firing at two men they were chasing on the Northwest Side.
The suspects then led police on a nearly 3-mile long chase, ending in Humboldt Park after smashing into parked cars.
The victims, two men, were traveling in a vehicle around 11:30 p.m. when someone inside a silver car — which began driving alongside them — pointed a gun at them at Cicero and Addison avenues, Chicago police said.
The victims sped away about three miles south, directly to the 25th District station, 5555 W. Grand Ave., but the silver vehicle continued to follow them, police said.
Suddenly, one of the occupants pulled a gun again and opened fire, hitting the vehicle the men were in, as well as an unoccupied police patrol car, officials said.
The suspects sped away before crashing into parked vehicles nearly three miles away in the 1500 block of North Pulaski Road in Humboldt Park. The suspects then jumped out of their car and led police on a foot chase before finally being arrested by responding officers, authorities said.
A weapon was recovered and charges were pending.
No injuries were reported.
Area 5 detectives are investigating.
