Two Suspects in Custody After High Speed Pursuit & Gunfire Across the Lake of the Ozarks

Several area law enforcement agencies were involved in a high speed pursuit of a stolen vehicle taken in the Millersburg area near I-70, east of Columbia. The pursuit started in the Lake Ozark area and continued west through Osage Beach where the suspect vehicle was partially disabled with stop sticks. The pursuit continued west through Linn Creek, Camdenton, Macks Creek and ultimately ended in Hickory County where at least one of the occupants of the stolen vehicle fired several gunshots at both police and an occupied civilian vehicle parked on the side of the road. Both suspects were injured during the exchange of gunfire, taken into custody and transported to area hospitals for medical treatment. No civilians or police officers were injured. The Highway Patrol is conducting the crime scene investigation and will be pursuing charges against the suspects involved.
