The rough course of the earlier pursuit based on the scanner traffic was as follows: EPD started a pursuit on F st. south of Harris and promptly discontinued. HCSO picked it up on Fairway in the area of the golf course and reported that they began taking fire from the suspect vehicle shortly after. The vehicle turned north on Vance from Herrick and continued north through the Pine Hill area before turning westbound Silva from Union then continuing onto Allard before turning north on Utah where shots continued to be fired from the vehicle. Law enforcement first reported that they were returning fire as the vehicle was northbound on Central passing Pearl. The path north from here to Buhne was unclear but the vehicle eventually turned eastbound on Buhne and continued to the crash scene at Buhne and Harrison where suspects were taken into custody. Officers are currently identifying scenes and evidence along the route and additional road closures are being put in place
Going Down @ 9:22 p.m.
#Update @ 9:20 p.m. Additional closure of 3000 block of Utah Street, within the city of Eureka. Please avoid this area. THERE IS NO PERCIEVED ONGOING THREAT TO THE COMMUNITY AT THIS TIME.
