BEND, Ore. (AP) — Authorities are searching for two suspects who allegedly fired at police on the Warm Springs Reservation.

FBI spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele says several shots were fired from an SUV that a Warm Springs police officer tried to stop Thursday.

One round struck the patrol car’s front windshield, but the officer was not hurt.

The chase continued for several miles on a rough, dirt road until the suspects stopped the car and ran.

While fleeing, one suspect fired several shots at Warm Springs officers. One officer returned fire.

A perimeter has been established around the rugged area as officers and police dogs search. Nine homes have been evacuated in an area known as Charley Canyon.
