ATLANTA -- Two teenage suspects were arrested after a carjacking and police chase in Atlanta Thursday morning.

The carjacking occurred on Fitzgerald Street in northeast Atlanta. Police later spotted the stolen car near Turner Field and initiated a chase.

Atlanta Police said they caught up to the car at the Park Commons Apartments in the 150 block of Peyton Place in southwest Atlanta.

Four suspects tried to run; two were captured. Both were charged with auto theft, and fleeing and attempting to elude police. Because they are minors, their names have not been released.

Investigators said a third suspect was tased by police and also suffered a laceration to the head. He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Police are now searching for the fourth suspect.

ATLANTA -- A southeast Atlanta man will spend 40 years in prison for shooting his girlfriend in the head, leaving her with permanent injuries.

Jason Thompson, 36, was found guilty Friday of criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and weapons offenses.

Thompson lived with his girlfriend, Barbara Baca, at a home on Bryan Street, near Grant Park. Police were called to the house on June 4, 2013. Responding officers found Baca with a gunshot wound to her head. She was conscious, but could not speak.

The defendant admitted he shot Baca, but claimed he intended to shoot himself. In court, he said he and the victim struggled for the gun and it discharged, striking Baca.

An investigation revealed Thompson had a history of violence toward Baca, according to prosecutors.
