2 in custody after chase, shooting on I-84

On Thursday, Idaho State Police said eight vehicles -- six personal and two law enforcement -- were hit and damaged by the gunshots.

JEROME COUNTY, Idaho — Update: On Thursday, Idaho State Police said eight vehicles -- six personal and two law enforcement -- were hit and damaged by the gunshots. The incident remains under investigation and ISP said detectives believe there may be other reports connected to the incident. 

Two individuals have been treated and released from hospitals in the area after suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

Two people are in custody after police say shots were fired at other motorists and law enforcement on Interstate 84 Wednesday morning. 

Idaho State Police received multiple reports from drivers of someone shooting from a pickup truck on the eastbound side of the interstate. An ISP trooper caught up to the suspect vehicle as it crossed into Jerome County, and also came under fire, police say.

Multiple agencies joined in the chase, as someone inside the pickup continued to shoot at them. Law enforcement ultimately used spike strips to disable the pickup at about 3:30 a.m. near milepost 192.

Both people inside the pickup, a male driver and a female passenger, were taken into custody. ISP said that 34-year-old Braddley D.W. Tannehill of Meridian has been charged with felonies of Aggravated assault and Assault or Battery on Certain Personnel. Tannehill has been booked into the Jerome County Jail.

No troopers were struck by the bullets, and law enforcement did not fire any shots. Eastbound I-84 remains blocked in the area. 

A Critical Incident Task Force, led by the Cassia County Sheriff's Office, was called in to investigate. It is unclear whether the man or woman, or both of them, were firing from the pickup. 

"Investigators appreciate the calls from motorists who allowed officers to locate the suspect vehicle," ISP wrote in a release. "If anyone witnessed this morning's incident and has not spoken with investigators, they're asked to contact Idaho State Police dispatch at 208-846-7500."

ISP said that the incident is still under investigation.
