JOHNSON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a possible road-rage shooting and have made an arrest.
Just before 7p.m. Tuesday, police responded to 87th Street and Lackman on the report of someone in a vehicle shooting towards at least one other vehicle, according to a statement from Lenexa Police.
As officers were on the scene speaking to the victim, who was not injured and did not know the suspect, the suspect vehicle, a black Dodge Charger, was seen driving in the area.
Officers tried to stop the Charger however it fled west on 87th Street and onto northbound I-435 highway.
Lenexa officers pursued this vehicle into Kansas before losing sight of it on eastbound Interstate 70 near Interstate 635 highway. Officers requested assistance from other police agencies as they pursued the suspect vehicle across jurisdictions, and those agencies were responding to assist.

The suspect ran but was captured a short time later. A firearm was recovered, and the black Dodge Charger was located. The suspect, whose name has not been released, is being held in the Johnson County Adult Detention Center to await charges.
