Investigators said the second man ran to an assisted-living facility on Cavalier Drive and forced the driver out of passenger van at the location. Police said the man drove off with one passenger still onboard the van.

Police pursued the van to the entrance ramp of Interstate 85 southbound, where the chase ended. Officers said shots were fired when the chase ended, but they have not yet said who fired the shots.

Authorities said the man was arrested and that the passenger was OK.

JL Mann High School, Sara Collins Elementary and Washington Center, were all on lockdown during the incident. The lockdown has been lifted at all three schools.
