Two Arrested With A Gun And Masks In Brentwood

BRENTWOOD (CBS SF) -- Police investigating a 911 call of shots being fired early Thursday discovered a car crashed into a wall with three suspects inside armed with a gun and carrying Halloween masks, authorities said.

The incident took place at Oak St. and Lott Dr. at around 1 a.m. Officers arrived on scene within minutes and determined the gunshots were fired from a moving vehicle that had fled the scene.

The vehicle was located a short distance later where it had crashed into the center median. Officers saw one of the suspects flee the accident scene and a foot chase ensued. The suspect was quickly taken into custody with the help of a k-9 officer.

The two other suspects were injured and trapped in the vehicle. They were freed using the Jaws of Life, taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for treatment.

A 9mm gun was found in some bushes nearby and Halloween masks were discovered in the back of the car.
