Police looking for suspects in alleged shotgun threat that led to car chase

DECATUR (MCT) — Police are seeking two suspects after a man and a woman in a green minivan allegedly pulled up alongside another vehicle on Eldorado Street, pointed a double-barrel shotgun at the vehicle’s driver and five occupants and began chasing the vehicle Monday night.

“The victim was in a vehicle with five friends, traveling on Eldorado alongside another car of friends,” Decatur police detective Sgt. Shane Brandel said. “They were throwing water balloons back and forth, and eventually the two cars separated.”
