4 arrested after shooting at Tacoma police

Four people were arrested after shots were fired at officers in Tacoma.

TACOMA, Wash. - An adult and three minors were arrested after shots were fired at Tacoma police early Monday morning. 

At about 2 a.m., a patrol officer spotted a car at 96th and Hosmer, when someone inside reportedly shot at them and the car sped away.

The officer tried to initiate a stop, but the car escaped.

A short time later, other patrols spotted the suspect car and pursued it until the car went off the roadway at Steele Street near a gas station. Police say five people got out of the car and ran, but deputies were able to detain and arrest four of them.

The adult, 18-year-old Christian Xavier Ceballos, was charged with first-degree assault, drive-by shooting and attempting to elude. A 14-year-old was also charged with second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
