SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Two teens are in custody after shots were fired during a carjacking in Sheboygan and a law enforcement pursuit, according to authorities.

Sheriff's officials say the boys, ages 16 and 17, were in a stolen vehicle when they tried carjacking another vehicle about 6 p.m. Monday. The driver drove away and the vehicle was hit by gunfire. No one was hurt.

A short time later the boys took a vehicle at gunpoint in Sheboygan. Officers deployed spike strips on Interstate 43 near Belgium in Ozaukee County. The vehicle was stopped, but the boys fled on foot. They were eventually taken into custody.

Both suspects were turned over to Sheboygan County Sheriff's Office.
