Three suspects believed to be responsible for a shooting in the northwestern part of the Denver metro area on Friday afternoon have been arrested. A spokesperson from the Broomfield Police Department said someone fired shots from a vehicle into another car.

The shooting happened near Highway 36 and Northwest Parkway, not far from the Flatirons Crossing mall.

One person was grazed by a bullet, according to Broomfield police.

The suspects were arrested soon afterwards about 8 miles away on Sheridan Boulevard in the Arvada area near Interstate 76.

The suspects' black pickup truck went off the side of the road after a chase and was surrounded by police cars and police tape near 58th Avenue. A utility pole was knocked over at the crash scene. Broomfield police said they took the suspects -- two males and a female -- into custody near there.

The suspects had apparently tried to run away but were captured by officers.
