A shooting at a gas station in Dallas ended with a police chase and one man in custody Wednesday morning.
Officers arrived at the Texaco gas station on the 8400-block of Stemmons Freeway at about 3 a.m.
Officers discovered around 13 shell casings scattered in the parking lot. Officers also found a shooting victim had crashed his car into a light pole. The car had several bullet holes in it.
An undercover sergeant was in the area at the time and heard the gunfire. The officer says he spotted a black mustang speeding down Stemmons Freeway.
Police followed the vehicle to south Oak Cliff and say the gunman got out of the car and tried to run, but officers took him into custody.
