Teenaged suspect loses gunfight after chase

This footage from New Britain, Connecticut, shows local officers responding to a 911 call regarding shots fired. When they attempted to make contact with two young men meeting the description of the shooters, they fled, causing the officers to pursue. During the chase, one of the suspects fired a round at a pursuing detective. This proved to be a tactical error as the detective fired several rounds, downing the suspect. The suspect's handgun and spent round were recovered on-scene. He was arrested and taken to an area hospital for surgery, where he is expected to recover from his injuries. He was found to be a minor at 17 years of age. Although his identity was withheld, he was reportedly charged with criminal attempt at assault in the first degree, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and carrying a pistol without a permit. The other suspect, identified as one Ossain Gayle, 18 years of age, was charged with illegal possession of a firearm, possession of a high-capacity magazine, interfering with an officer, among other crimes.
