August 6, 2010 - A high speed chase that stretched from west Phoenix to Scottsdale.

The chase played out live on ABC15 from Air15 Friday.

Sgt. Steve Martos of the Phoenix Police Department said that officers originally tried to stop the man and the woman near 51st Avenue and Thomas for a traffic stop, but they refused to stop.

Martos said the two met up with another couple and ended up getting into their vehicle. That couple eventually got out and the two suspects pulled into a strip mall at 107th Avenue & Lower Buckeye.

Martos said an undercover cop who was in the area attempted to confront them and that is when they pointed a gun at the officer.

The officer opened fire hitting the man while the pair took off, car-jacking a woman and fleeing with her in her car.
