A police spokeswoman says one of the men fired shots from inside the car, resulting in a graze wound to an officer's leg. SWAT officers then returned fire.
The standoff began around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday when two officers on foot patrol approached a car with four people inside and spotted a gun in the back seat. The spokeswoman says a man and a woman sitting in the back seat got out of the vehicle without the gun and were arrested.
