Police found and followed one vehicle involved, but the driver wouldn't stop. Officers didn't have any trouble staying on its tail, though, because the driver forgot to release his parking break. The car only got up to about 35- miles an hour.

When police caught up with the car near 900 S. 1400 West, the teens said there was a shooting and they were the targets. Police didn't find any guns or bullet holes.
