A 23-year-old man in New York tracked down a relative's stolen car on Sunday night, then allegedly opened fire, injuring three teenage girls inside, officials in Syracuse said.
Police said the man, Michael Brown, fled after the shooting. He was later found and taken into custody. The Syracuse Police Department has not yet said if Brown will be charged. CBS affiliate WTVH identified Brown as the vehicle owner's brother.
The car, a Hyundai, was stolen from the 1800 block of Grant Boulevard in Syracuse on Sunday. That night, at around 10:45 p.m., police officers responding to a gunfire detector notification found evidence of shots fired near the intersection of Grant Boulevard and Pond Street.
