Two Teens Arrested After Mesa Stolen Vehicle Chase, Police Shooting

Two teenagers were shot in separate but related incidents in the Phoenix Hill and Parkland neighborhoods of Louisville, Kentucky, and are currently receiving medical care with non-life-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, in Mesa, Arizona, two 17-year-old suspects were arrested following a stolen vehicle pursuit that ended in an officer-involved shooting when the driver, who was unarmed, was shot in the hand after ramming a police vehicle and driving through residential yards. The Mesa Police Department confirmed that no officers were injured during the incident, and the suspects were taken into custody without further incident. The stolen vehicle chase involved the use of a Grappler device, which failed to stop the car, escalating the situation to a head-on confrontation with police. Investigations into the Louisville shootings remain ongoing with no suspects identified yet, while the Mesa incident is being reviewed by the East Valley Critical Incident Response Team. Authorities in both cases have appealed to the public for information to assist in their investigations.
