No injuries were reported in an overnight gun battle between robbery suspects and officers that left a Duluth police car and a massage parlor riddled with bullets.
The shootout began when officers arrived at a robbery in progress Tuesday night at Tong Tong Chinese Massage on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.
The two suspects, a white male and a black female, jumped in a car and fled after exchanging gunfire with the two officers. Investigators believe they fled in a dark-colored sedan that will likely have bullet holes on the passenger side.
Officers chased the suspects at speeds of up to 100 mph before losing them in Johns Creek.
Police are hoping to glean more information on the suspects from the patrol car's dash cam video.
"All of our cars are equipped with video cameras, so we'll have to go back and go through the video and see what we have there," Duluth police Major Don Woodruff told Channel 2 Action News. "We'll have more information on the suspects and their vehicle later."
Channel 2 reported that nearly two dozen shell casings littered the parking lot after the shootout.
