Investigators say the suspect left the scene, prompting officers to pursue the vehicle. The chase ended when the driver crashed near 121st St. and Capitol Drive.

Police say a 29-year-old was taken into custody.

Inside the apartment building, contractors said they were installing windows on a lower level when they suddenly heard gunfire and ran for safety.

“I was hearing yelling from one guy, sounded like he was on the phone or something because I didn't hear the other guy, just yelling. Next thing I know, we hear two shots and jump out the window,” said Rick Keller, a contractor who was working inside at the time.

Police have not released any information about what led up to the shooting.
