Queensland police fired at during chase

A man and a woman have been charged after shots were fired at police during a car chase on the Sunshine Coast.

Police followed the car of the 21-year-old woman and 19-year-old man after they were spotted on the Bruce Highway allegedly pointing a shotgun at other vehicles on Thursday afternoon.

They were arrested when their car rolled to a stop after police used spikes to puncture the tyres.

The pair are accused of firing at two police cars during the pursuit and have been charged with a string of weapons, stealing and driving offences.

They are due to face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Friday.
