Shots Fired in Hatton, One Suspect in Custody
Police are investigating an incident in Hatton on Sunday evening that ended with a dramatic crash and one suspect in custody.
Reports are that two men arrived at a roadside car wash in a black Toyota BB and opened fire while demanding to know the whereabouts of a man who drives a Toyota Corolla. Panic erupted as the gunmen discharged several rounds before leaving the area.
Their escape, however, was short-lived. Another man reportedly pursued the vehicle along the Sea Road and rammed into it. The impact sent the BB crashing into a fence, causing extensive damage.
Lawmen later took one of the occupants into custody. He is said to be cooperating with investigators as police work to track down the second suspect.
