One shot was fired when suspects in a police pursuit threw a gun out of the window of a moving car San Diego officials said Monday.
When the gun hit the ground, a single round went off according to San Diego police.
When officers saw a car speeding down 28th near Oceanview at 12:30 a.m., they tried to stop the car.
What turned into a high-speed chase ended in the 4400-block of Delta near National City.
The officer heard what sounded like a gunshot coming from the side of the vehicle.
“He wasn't certain based on where the flash was a gun shot or possibly back fire, but he said that over the radio. Obviously this was a much more dangerous situation than someone failing to stop for a speeding violation," said Lt. David Rohowitz.
Officers returned to the area of the noise and found a shotgun in several pieces on the pavement Rohowitz said.
He said the shotgun was loaded with four shells and appeared to have discharged.
