A mother in Mississippi reported her sons to the police after they allegedly shot at officers and ran away.

Two teenagers were recently accused of shooting at a police officer in Holly Springs, Mississippi on Monday. The situation took an unexpected turn when their own mother turned them in to the authorities. As reported by WREG, the incident began when an officer tried to pull over a red Kia Forte that was driving erratically without its headlights or taillights on South Randolph Street. The officer alerted dispatch of the vehicle's license plate as it sped away onto West Van Dorn Avenue. However, the suspects allegedly fired two shots at the patrol car that was in pursuit.

The suspects' mother became aware of her 18 and 17-year-old sons' alleged actions after the police reached out to the public for help. A ring camera had captured footage of the suspects in the same area where the abandoned vehicle was found. According to reports, the teens had fled on foot into the nearby woods when the police arrived. Holly Springs Police Chief Darryl Bowens stated that the mother saw the news coverage and recognized her sons. She then made the decision to do the right thing and went to the police department to report them to the detectives.

Chief Bowens shared the mother's words, "They committed the crime, so they have to face the consequences of their actions." The gravity of the situation was not lost on him as he emphasized the potential danger that the officer and other innocent individuals faced. He mentioned that the officer could have been injured, and others on the road could have been harmed by the stray bullets. Fortunately, no one was reported to be hurt.

The two brothers are now facing charges of aggravated assault on a police officer. A third suspect is also believed to be involved and will likely face charges as well. As the investigation continues, it is possible that additional charges will be added for all three individuals. The incident serves as a reminder that reckless actions can have serious consequences, and it is important to hold individuals accountable for their actions.
