Shots fired during police pursuit that ended in Chanhassen crash

CHANHASSEN, Minn. (FOX 9) - Shots were fired during a police pursuit Tuesday evening that ended in a crash in Chanhassen, South Lake Minnetonka police report.

The department says officers were following a vehicle that came back with a warrant out of Illinois for an assault.

Traffic camera videos showed officers circling a gas station near Highway 7 and Highway 41 shortly before 7 p.m. Moments later, officers are seen trailing a black SUV south on Highway 41. The pursuit speeds through the Highway 5 intersection before it ends just south of the highway.

"Shots were fired, and the vehicle eventually crashed south of Highway 5," police wrote.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said at least one officer fired their weapon. It's unknown whether the suspect had a weapon or if anyone was injured. 

After the crash, officers negotiated with the driver to get the woman out of her vehicle. Authorities say she was eventually taken into custody without incident. 

Multiple agencies are assisting in the incident, officers added.
