The incident happened around 5:30 a.m. when police responded to a call about a burglary in progress at the luxury car lot on 33rd Ave. and Prince Street in Flushing.

According to police, the suspects – who were armed – jumped into several vehicles and attempted to drive away at a high rate of speed toward the officers, who were on foot.

One officer fired his weapon as the vehicles drove northbound on Miller Street, police say. No injuries were reported, though one officer was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Four of the five vehicles were recovered, police say.

It's unknown if any of the suspects were struck by bullets. No word yet on any arrests.
