Rogers Police have arrested two teens in connection with a shooting investigation.

According to the Rogers Police Department, officers responded to the intersection of South 15th Street and West Cypress Street on February 22 at around 11:52 p.m.

Investigators said a juvenile male reported he was travelling east bound in the 2200 block of West Walnut Street in a 2000 white Dodge Charger when a black vehicle pulled beside him. The driver reported hearing a "pop" and the rear passenger window of his vehicle breaking.  The juvenile followed after the suspect vehicle, identified as a 1995 black Nissan Pathfinder, and was able to obtain the license plate number of the vehicle.  The juvenile then reported the incident to the police.

Police said during a search of the vehicle, they located a bullet hole in the top right side of the driver's seat.  Officers were able to recover what is believed to be a .45 caliber round from the seat. Neither the driver or his passenger were injured during the shooting.
