(KLZA)--Two suspects believed to be responsible for a pursuit that involved shots fired are now in custody. KQ2-TV reports a man and woman have been apprehended in connection with the investigation that involved agencies including Andrew, Buchanan, and Nodaway Counties along with the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The TV station reports an Andrew County Sheriff's Deputy attempted to make a traffic stop shortly after 3:20 Saturday morning, but the suspect vehicle, wanted for speeding and expired tags, sped away. A pursuit began, with the vehicles traveling into Holt County and then back into Andrew County, where the vehicle left the roadway, leaving the suspects to flee on foot.
It was during the pursuit that authorities allege four shots were fired at the deputy with what investigators believe was an automatic handgun. No one was hurt.
A helicopter and K-9's were used to search for the pair, while authorities went from home to home in the area where the suspects fled, seeking their whereabouts.
Details regarding the arrests aren't immediately made public, and the suspects are not yet identified publicly.
