According to Arlington Police, while some officers were heading to the studio, they received a tip about a stolen car that was seen leaving the shooting scene. The officers believed the vehicle was tied to the incident and tried to pull the car over, but the driver didn't stop and led them on a brief chase.
The pursuit ended in the 1500 block of NE Green Oaks Boulevard after the vehicle pulled over, and officers found 30-year-old Kinton Jones and 52-year-old George Duncan inside the car, each suffering from gunshot wounds.
Jones and Duncan were taken to a local hospital. Duncan is expected to survive his injuries, and Jones is in the ICU.
