Three people who returned to the scene of a drive-by-shooting in Washington were arrested, authorities said.

A 19-year-old man was shot in Kent on Nov. 1, the Kent Police Department said in a Facebook post.

While investigators were at the scene investigating the shooting, they spotted the suspect vehicle, police said.

The driver fled, leading police on a chase, and officers stopped the car using a “pursuit intervention technique,” police said.

Two 17-year-old boys, one from Tukwila and one from Federal Way, were arrested on assault charges, and the 20-year-old female driver was booked on drive-by shooting and eluding charges.

The 19-year-old wounded man was taken to the hospital and was in stable condition, police said.
