Your initial message was in regards to stealing cars, I don’t see anywhere mentioned in this article about the offender’s car being stolen.
This is from the article:
A state trooper nearby heard the gunshots and chased a vehicle speeding from the area, state police said. With the help of a police helicopter, troopers arrested two people from the car and recovered a handgun.
Seems like they did their job? Now it’s up to the states attorney to approve the charges. Anyway, I’m sorry for the loss of an innocent life.
