NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — New video captures the moments Metro Police say four teenagers ran into a wooded area after shooting at an undercover police officer and a police helicopter.
Now, two teenagers are facing attempted murder charges.
Police say the teens fired those shots Monday after leading officers on a chase that ended near the Haven Apartments on Patricia Drive, which is not far from the airport.
Police say the 16-year-old driver of that car and a 15-year-old passenger shot at the undercover officer and helicopter. The teens then ditched the car and ran into a wooded area off Millwood Drive at Murfreesboro Pike.
They surrendered to police about an hour later.
Officers recovered two guns from a nearby tree. Prosecutors have charged that 16-year-old and 15-year-old with attempted murder.
We've also learned a 13-year-old and 14-year-old were in the backseat of that car. Right now they have not been charged.
