About four hours later, officers attempted a traffic stop in northeast Rochester on a vehicle reportedly associated with the shooting suspect. The driver did not stop and a pursuit ensued, RPD said in a media release.
Officers used a pursuit intervention technique maneuver to safely stop the vehicle in the area of Fairway Drive Northwest and 55th Street Northwest.
Three occupants, including the suspected shooter, were taken into custody without further incident and investigation is ongoing.
