Rolls-Royce shot up as drivers chase each other through Royal Oak
ROYAL OAK, Mich. (FOX 2) - Suspects drove through Royal Oak shooting at another vehicle that was chasing them early Sunday, police said.
According to police, two men left Birmingham around 2:30 a.m. in a Rolls-Royce and went south on Woodward Avenue toward Royal Oak. When they were near 13 Mile, they called 911 to say they were being chased by someone in a Dodge Charger and said they had been shot. Someone in the Charger did fire shots, but police said the Rolls-Royce driver was chasing the Charger.
Police said the two vehicles continued onto 12 Mile, where the 911 dispatcher heard several gunshots. They turned onto McDonald Avenue and drove through a neighborhood north of 12 Mile before getting back on 12 Mile and heading east. At one point, the speeding vehicles passed a police officer.
The drivers then turned left onto Campbell, then left on Girard, before ending up on Lauren Court where the Charger got stuck in a yard. The occupants of the Charger fled on foot and were never caught.
When police caught back up with the drivers, officers saw that the Rolls-Royce had bullet holes in it. Police talked with the Rolls-Royce occupants, who were uncooperative at first.
It isn't clear what led to the shooting. An investigation is ongoing.
No one was hurt.
