An armed teen suspect was injured during a police-involved shooting in southwest Miami-Dade Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.
The shooting happened around 12:30 p.m. in the area of Southwest 224th Street and Northwest 1125th Avenue.
According to police, officers tried to stop a vehicle that had been involved in a carjacking when one of the three people inside came out with a gun.
That suspect, a 16-year-old boy, was shot and taken to Kendall Regional Hospital, officials said. His condition was unknown but police said he had non-life suffering injuries.
The car took off again with two suspects inside but they bailed out after driving onto a field, officials said.
One of those suspects also pulled out a gun and shots were fired by police but no one was injured, officials said. A 15-year-old was taken into custody but the third suspect was able to run away.
Police searched for the third suspect for a couple hours before he was eventually caught. Two firearms were recovered at the scene, police said. It's unknown if any of the suspects fired any shots.
