GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — One person is in custody and another is still on the run after police say officers located a vehicle believed to be carrying a concealed weapon one of the occupants had fired a shot from, leading to a short chase.

It happened Tuesday night in Grand Rapids.

Police say officers found the vehicle and attempted to pull the driver over, but they drove off.

After a short police chase on Lafayette Street SE, the vehicle was stopped, and the driver was taken into custody. The passenger in the vehicle ran off.

Grand Rapids police say a perimeter was established to contain the scene and keep people in the surrounding neighborhoods safe.

Police tell us a K-9 unit was called in to help with the search. Detectives executed a search warrant at a home the person was believed to have entered, but they were unable to find the suspect.
