The suspects, both Latino females in their 20s, were arrested. One suspect, the driver, sustained a single, non-life threatening gunshot wound to an extremity. The passenger in the vehicle sustained non-life threatening injuries from the traffic collision. Both were taken to a local hospital for treatment and, later, booking.
