Before the vehicle drove away, officers conducted a vehicle stop. Upon contact, one of the individuals inside of the vehicle fled on foot. Officers quickly established a perimeter, ultimately locating the individual and recovering a loaded firearm with an extended magazine.

Both firearms were loaded, one of which contained a device allowing the firearm to fire multiple rounds with a single pull of the trigger.
All three individuals were arrested for firearm-related offenses, and one had an outstanding robbery warrant.
