The chase began near FM 875 and FM 663 in Ellis County around 3:20 a.m. and lasted for an hour before the suspects crashed on Interstate 30 near Camp Bowie Boulevard around 4:20 a.m. Police utilized spike strips during the pursuit, which caused the driver to lose control and the vehicle to flip onto its side.
During the chase, officers reported that the suspects fired shots at them. Investigators confirmed a firearm was recovered from the wreckage. Because of the gunfire, police approached the overturned vehicle with extreme caution and advised news crews to stay back in case of a shootout.

One suspect was reportedly unconscious following the wreck, though none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening.
Multiple police vehicles were damaged during the pursuit. Agencies from Fort Worth, Mansfield, Ellis County and Tarrant County remain on-site investigating.
